[quote=JABAROOTOO,37078]Pinyin is wonderful and relatively easy to get a grasp of. It is not necessary to translate into English or any other language for that matter. As we learn Mandarin we can do a mental translation ourselves. It is always fun to finally understand place names and wonder about the history and origin of the names themselves. Most foreigners move around the city/country using maps, looking for landmarks etc and these help a great deal because they often have characters and pinyin both of which we can compare even if we do not understand them. I seldom if ever get lost, perhaps go out of my way a little but this usually nets me some interesting sites or experiences. [/quote]
