Have I mentioned how much I LOVE having a Chinese dictionary on my iPad? It used to take me FOREVER to look up a word in the dictionary. Not it just takes a few seconds. If I see a reference to a person or place I don't know, no
problem. WIKIPEIDA! |

Are you using Pleco? It totally changed my study approach.

Yes, it is great.
With tools like Pleco, Chinese needs to be reclassified from super difficult to just difficult.

I'll be making a quick trip to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks. Time to brush up on my Cantonese.
Are there any new books out for Cantonese that I should be on the lookout for while I'm passing through?
