xuefang Posted July 22, 2005 at 05:58 PM Report Posted July 22, 2005 at 05:58 PM I'm at Mandarin Chinese course now and we have to write a letter for our homework. This is a very short course and now we have studied only 5 days. I tried to find new words from dictionary, but I'm not sure are they the right words and is my word structure right. Thank you very much if you got the time to tell me if this makes any sense: (From this computer I can't write characters or correct pinyin) Ni3 hao3! Wo3 hen3 gao1xing4! Wo3 de zheng1tu2 zai4 Zhong1guo2 guai4 you3 yi4si. Wo3 Bei3jing1 qu4 le. Bei3jing1 de fan4guan3 de fan4 zhen1 hao3chi1! Bei3jing1ren2 hen3 qin1qie4 Wo3 mai3 fu2, juan4 he2 yi2 ge5 yin1li4. Zai4 guang3chang3 wo3 may3 shui3guo3. Zheng1tu2 hen3 shan4 le! This is what I'm trying to say: Hello. I'm very happy. My trip to China was very interesting. I visit Beijing. Food was very good in Beijin's restaurants. Beijing people (what are they? I don't know the correct word in English) were very friendly. I bought clothes, books and one mooncalendar. Trip was very succesful. Quote

johnmck Posted July 23, 2005 at 09:44 AM Report Posted July 23, 2005 at 09:44 AM (From this computer I can't write characters or correct pinyin) If you have Word you can use a Word macro to write characters, you enter the pinyin and the macro gives you choice of characters to use. You can then cut-and-paste from Word. The macro can be found at: http://www.mandarintools.com/ John Quote
johnmck Posted July 23, 2005 at 09:50 AM Report Posted July 23, 2005 at 09:50 AM Even better. If you find yourself on a computer that you cannot download and load Word Macros you can use an on-line Chinese typing tool. One such tool can be found at: http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=worddictbasic You will find the link, "打字 Type Chinese" at the top of the screen, it works the same as the macro, enter pinyin - get characters.

skylee Posted July 23, 2005 at 10:04 AM Report Posted July 23, 2005 at 10:04 AM Or use www.inputking.com -> Inputting hanzi when the PC doesn't have pinyin input... Quote
xuefang Posted July 23, 2005 at 04:02 PM Author Report Posted July 23, 2005 at 04:02 PM 谢谢 Thank you very much for your help. At home I have my own computer with wich I can type and read Chinese chracters too but at school it's not possible to download any programs to computers. Quote
