It will allow you to input pinyin, which will then translate to Chinese characters in your messages. It will be a little tough if you do not know pinyin and the appropriate tones. A good Chinese dictionary will help. Good luck! http://www.microsoft.com/resources/ documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/int_pr_install_languages.mspx?mfr=true

Hi Everyone !

I recently finished my first semester of Chinese in Los Angeles, and my native Chinese speaker used a tex ftbook with hobby written as: 爱好 (ai4hao4).

My favorite online dictionary only lists 爱好 as the fifth choice for definition in this order: to like/ to be fond of/ to be keen on/ interest/ hobby.

I know ai4 (爱) from Wo3 ai4 ni3 (我爱你）. I Love You! I say that to my wife everyday :-)
