[quote=JABAROOTOO ,29574]Great explaination Lemoncactus. I sometimes spend hours looking up characters this way but am often none the wiser for their meaning and especially the application in everyday language.I'm hoping to access a Palm computer into which you can download a very user friendly manderin/ Pinyin-English software for learning Chinese especiall for foreigners.www.pleco.com is the website. Friends of mine are using this and are very happy with it. You can write a character on your screen and get the pinyin and then the English tranlation. There is also flash card series for learning new characters as well and so much more. Read what other users have to say about it.While this may not help translate whole sentences it may help in learning the language so you can remember and be able to wrtie intelligent letters.Forget the E-dictionaries. They must be responsible for so much unintelligable "English' signage around China today. Have you seen any today?????[/quote]
