hi =) i am attempting to better my chinese and came across this forum ^^. i have found some sites that have been helpful to me, so it might be helpful to all you ppl who are trying to better their chinese too:
http://zhongwen.com/zi.htm -- if you know how to use chinese dictionary you can look up a lot of words here. u can also listen the different tones and how to pronounce each word in the "cantonese pronounciation dictionary." i also like the "unicode" database, which gives romanization for mandarin and cantonese. (it's free too ^^)
http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php -- this one is really useful! there is character dictionary, word dictionary, flashcards, and translation. if you know the chinese characters, you can plug it in "search chinese characters" in the character dictionary, and it will come up with the definition, radical + strokes, plus the romanization/pronounciation for both mandarin and cantonese. you can also search the characters if you know the romanization. (it's also free ^^)
hehe.. just sharing my lucky find~ i hope you guys keep posting tho, cuz i have learned a lot from this forum ^^ daai6 ga1 ping4 ngon1~
