Sort of unrelated, but “having” to figure out taobao really improved my chinese reading ability. At first I was trying to do stuff on my pc with google chrome pulled up on a VPN, but that just got too squirrelly, so then I switched over to doing it on my iphone. At first I was copy/pasting into pleco but eventually was remembering certain words and then on beyond that was actually learning them! I really think taobao expanded my Chinese vocabularly and character word bank tremendously.
