Best Website for Example Sentences.

小山   March 16th, 2013 12:18a.m.

Hey Guys.

I am learning Chinese. I have been using this website
(www.nciku.com) to look up words that I come across on Skritter that either have no example sentence at all or an example sentence that really isn't helpful. But this website I have been using also seems to be missing some words. Is there any other better site to use?

Thanks and 加油！

Try Bing Dictionary China:
http://dict.bing.com.cn/?ulang=EN-US&tlang=ZH-CN&view=pc

It's a dictionary for language learners which has a massive and growing set of sample sentences mined from the web fresh daily.

A unique and helpful feature is word alignment: you can mouse over a word in the sample sentence and see the English, Chinese, and Pinyin all highlighted instantly.

Cheers
