Hello Min Min
A great great compliment for this page. It is the best site I have found for learning Chinese online, at least for my way of learning a language. I pent around an hour a day and really appreciate your choice of words, the availability of the computer voice and their quality as well as the example sentences, which allow to go a bit beyond and make it easier to remember things. I can imagine that it is not easy to find applicable and useful phrases. However, sometimes I am personally a little bit confused. One example: tā hǎo xiàng xīn shén bú dìng. Dìng as mood or absentminded doesnt appear under common phrases above. Since feedback is the breakfast of champions I hope you appreciate my comment and take it as a motivation to further publish things on this excellent side.

Hi Peter (彼得),
Thanks for you comment and feedback. I really appreciate it.
For some characters, there are many common phrases and words; and sometimes I will miss out a few. It will take quite a bit of time for me to list them all. Most of the time, it is based on my personal knowledge to list around 4 to 10 most common phrases and words for your extra vocabulary.
I will try to improve more about this website in future. You compliments really motivate me. 谢谢。
I really appreciate this web site for outstanding learning materials for Chinese language. I become motivated to learn Chinese language after listening melnyks.com and chinesepod.com on Ipod. But, both sites will not provide you chinese characters and pinyin pronunciations unless you subscribe the web sites. After a while, you lost interest of listening the same formats. Your web site has different approach of helping learners to learn Chinese language. I am very fortunate to find your web site.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge of language, you have with others. When I saw the word, instable, it sounds unnatural to me. I went to merriam webster site and dictionary.com site to check the word. To my surprise, the word, instable exists. I am learning both chinese and English language from you.

Hi larry,
As you may know, my English is not very fluent. I am learning and improving my English as well while preparing the content of this website. 🙂
Thanks for learning Chinese from this website. 谢谢。
Hi Min Min,
You are just very humble. Your English is quite good. To be a good language teacher,I believe, you have to know both languages well. But, it will be very difficult to perfect both languages. By the way, I really want to applaud you for giving us such a simple rule how to put stress mark on pinyin pronunciation. Also, thanks to you for your new lesson of radicals. I feel like, I owe you although your web site is free. Zhu4 Ni3 Jiang 4kang1(wish you good health)
