Resources for Chinese grammar have been scattered, incomprehensible, and hidden behind paywalls for way too long.  Wikipedia has shown us a better way, and we are working hard to make Chinese grammar learner-friendly and accessible to all. \r\nWe've already got '''[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles''' online, and we're growing! If you'd like to contribute, [[Contact|please get in touch]].
