Language experts agree that the best way to learn a new language is to use it in everyday practice. Surfing Chinese web sites provides an excellent environment for immersion, but the difficulty of learning thousands of Chinese characters makes reading more difficult than speaking for beginner-level Chinese learners. PinyinBrowser™ enables you to link your study of Chinese characters to your study of Chinese speech.
