[quote=GRIZ326,227023]I am so early in my studies of Chinese that perhaps attempting to translate paragraphs of English into Chinese was pure foolishness... But I thought it would be no problem...because the textbook I am using says sentence structure is the same, Chinese is not concerned with tense, blah blah...so you can happily string words together to communicate....So anyway...I write a one page letter in Pinyin using a BBK dictionary to translate the English to Pinyin.Then I get the bright idea to use Pleco to translate the Pinyin back into English.After one paragraph I was completely embarassed because my attempt at Pinyin was PURE NONSENSE!I won't give up, but that was so discouraging.[/quote]
