John,
Another thought: I noticed there are about a dozen vocabulary cards that are giving me a really hard time to remember right now.
Examples: 作为 (zuo4 wei2 - to act as); 以为 (yi3 wei2 - to think); 不如 (bu4 ru2 - inferior to).
What if there were a new category or topic named I can’t-remember-this-one.
A Distressed User is allowed to submit, say, 5 per month max (or whatever);
He/she puts it out for the Community to look at.
Users then offer a new meme, suggest a new mnemonic, the perfect tie-in, etc.
The User in Distress nominates the most valuable one;
The Moderator votes it up or down, making sure it still adheres to the Pandanese method.
If voted down, the Distressed User still got help from the community;
If voted up, the winning entry gets . . . Panda Points? A trip to the Emerald City? A fresh helping of bamboo leaves? Stars, kudos, more confetti… You get the point.
What do you think?
