Where to find simple example sentences


Recommended Posts

Posted

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions! I´ve tried most of them out, and although none of them seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, combined they will be of great help.

Problem with most of the listed sites is that they don't distinguish between single character and compound words. So searching for 止 (as used on it's own) will get example sentences with 禁止、防止, etc.

If I find a site that I particularly like for finding example sentences, I will report back here.

Excellent resource, my only problem with it is that it's quite slow at times.

So, in the end, I'm actually mostly using 新汉英大辞典 on http://dict.youdao.com. Just search for a word and click on 新汉英. It gives good, exemplary sentences with English translation for most words, and almost always gives short phrases.
