It also has cantonese ! The placement of the text is perfect. Many thanks for this !

Great add on, wish there was an option to hide the pinyin and have them show up when highlighted. I found that I'm relying on the pinyin too much instead of looking at the actual characters.

easy to use and intuitive, very helpful for polishing my Chinese reading skills
