Hello !

When I have some problem to understand a word, I always ask someone beside me or online to give me an sentence as exemple and I find it's really helpfull.

For exemple I was learning : 件 et 緊 and I had : 這件牛仔褲太緊了 (This Jean is too tight. It's now more clear to me, less abstract.

Is it possible to add a exemple sentence to each word ? I know it's quite a heavy job but maybe we (Skritter communities) can help you to do this.

Eventually, we'll be able to do some awesome stuff with example sentences. It's not clearly planned out yet, but think of the possibilities of Skritter mining example sentences and giving ones automatically tuned to your level, perhaps even ones containing no characters you don't know except the one being prompted. Crowdsourcing really informative sentences like you describe above is also a possibility.

As our ambitions expand, we'll also be doing sentence-level practice, something like Khatzumoto recommends at AJATT: http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com/blog/10000-sentences-why
http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com/blog/chinese-project-notes-8-ch-ch-changes-stuff-that-applies-to-japanese-too

That is excellent :)

Looking forward

I thought the same thing about example sentences, and I found this website http://dict.cn/en/ through this other nice website http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/character-dictionary.php

Unfortunately, the first site only supports simplified characters since it's run by mainlanders. Fortunately, the second site will give you the simplified versions of characters if you look up traditional ones. So they work great together. The latter site also gives you a nice breakdown of each character into its components all the way down to fundamental radicals.

Thx for the link !

If you are a Gmail/Gtalk user I suggest you to add a google translation bot within your contacts. There is several languages includind a Simp -->Trad as well.

very useful
