S. joined Tatoeba in 2012 and contributed for a short time. He hasn’t been using it much since. In 2012, he used Tatoeba to learn basic Chinese vocabulary. He created Anki flashcards using a text editor to manually enter CSV data. The values are English sentence, Chinese sentence, Pinyin transcription, that he copies and paste from Tatoeba search results.

S. is much interested in collaborative projects like Wikipedia. He values Tatoeba because of its philosophy: open, collaborative, free, open source. He also thinks that it’s a good learning resource as it shows entire sentences instead of just words, and simple sentences are good for beginners.

S. is comfortable using browsers, command line, writing basic shell scripts.
