Wouldn't that make a delicious learning device?

August 13, 2007, 04:28 PMgetting the first 214 radicals would get you started, after that it would just be a matter of assembling them, almost. but imagine how long it would take to eat the hanzi miantang 面汤 if you were to decipher each one? good slimming trick this
