Great App - I love the format

Hello I had left a review for the Shanghainese one too. I love this app and its format and its examples. Best part about this app that most American made apps do not have is the literal translation. 10/10. Would love to see more content or new apps with more words above 1k

Edit- ok I found your app for the Chinese HSK 1-9 one :D thank you for creating it
