I find there's a lot of material for studying isolated words, but as an engineer, analyzing the sentence patterns and grammar is more interesting.

I'm working on a project to do this for a database of Chinese grammar patterns. When there's enough sentence examples for each pattern as structured data, we can then make games and other learning tools. For example: yīnwèi / 因为 / because http://cgram.rikai-bots.com/grammar/yinwei

Now there's a magnets game to try to use that pattern: http://cgram.rikai-bots.com/magnets/?cnames=yinwei

I would be happy to share the repo with anyone who's interested, or using the data to make some other language learning games. PS I did a similar thing for japanese before: JGram.org and it really helped me learn japanese quickly.
