Looking for Example Sentences (例句）

[baambi]

I always come across so much interesting vocabulary without being able to find an appropriate 例句 to write on my flashcard. The sentences at dict.cn and Yellowbridge often aren`t exactly useful or simple enough.

What`s your strategy to find some useful phrases in order to remember new vocab?

Have you tried jukuu?

[來撒母耳]

This is something I'm interested in as well. I have tried jukuu through mdbg.com and found that the sentences are very much on the complex side and not for a beginner like me.

Have you tried simply inserting new words into previously studied sentence patterns?

With this method I am not so happy either. The software "Wenlin - 文林" for some words has some nice patterns. Right now I am mostly relying on my tutor to check my sentences.

[Chinadoog]

you could always just choose some vocab from whatever you're reading/watching/listening to. that way you'll always have the word in a sentence and in the type of context that it's usually used it.

Unfortunately I find lots of vocab without good context. Additionally my book kind of sucks in terms of context. Isn`t it that most of the HSK books introduce lots of vocabulury, maybe even ordered? Might check it out next time I am in a book store.
