Online Pinyin Input inside China

onebir - Jun 20 2016 04:32 PM in Chinese Computing and Electronics

Pinyin input has died on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop. Eventually I'll upgrade for a later version, which should fix it, but meanwhile I wondered if there's a decent online or (Firefox-addon) pinyin input app?   (Outside China Google translate would do in a pinch, but access to that's unreliable here...)

Non-Chinese Android in China: getting apps

onebir - Jun 18 2016 05:18 AM in Chinese Computing and Electronics

I just got an Android 4.2.1 phone fixed. It's from outside China, so set up to use Google Play, links to the old user (and donor, my dad)'s Google account, and has some of his data on it.   I guess the latter problems can be resolved with a factory reset. But what's the easiest way to a) get some decent apps (esp for Chinese) onto this thing & b) get a decent app store working on it?

Short term (one semester) spoken Chinese program / Tutor for 普通话

dementior - Jun 17 2016 12:37 PM in Beijing

Hi there, I am currently in Beijing looking for a full-time job, but if it does not work out, I would prefer to stay rather than go back home. So I am exploring other options right now. I know there are 普通话培训 schools in town since I met a lady who was attending an intensive course last semester, but it seems they only cater Chinese.   My ideal program would be a school that focuses on spoken Chinese (tones, flow, diction...) without having to pay an exorbitant price for tuition. I also need a school that he...

Resource to self-study

GFontes - Jun 17 2016 10:28 AM in Resources for Studying Chinese

I know this is quite a repetitive topic, but I have read several of the responses and was not able to come to a conclusion.   I'm currently living at Beihang Uni, level A1. My plan is to take HSK5 in around 2 years. I'll be going back to my country (Brazil) in July so I wanted to take some material to continue my studies since the costs of them in Brazil will be prohibitive. I will not have access to a teacher or other chinese students, unless on the internet.    I'm currently using the Jump High...

Using swype input for Chinese gets attention

vellocet - Jun 16 2016 04:22 PM in Chinese Computing and Electronics

vellocet avatar I've often used swype input for English, but just recently started using it to input Chinese pinyin.  I've had a lot of people perk up and ask me what the heck I was doing.  I guess they only way they know to input on a phone is by typing pinyin, or handwriting.  I was surprised people's iphones don't have swype. I suppose most English-speaking Chinese don't use swype to input English, either.  They just use the English mode of Sougu or QQ or whatever keyboard is already installed. ...

Resources for developers

ReubenBond - Jun 16 2016 10:08 AM in Resources for Studying Chinese

ReubenBond avatar I spent a fair bit of time scouring the Web looking for openly licensed / freely available resources in order to make HanBaoBao, my language learning/assistance app. Here I want to share some of those resources with others. Note that they are not all free or usably licensed. If you have other resources, please contribute I'm far from a professional. My Chinese isn't even good - I'm very new to the language.   Dictionary Data: CC-CEDICT (https://cc-cedict.org/wiki/) - this is the main dictionary used by mos...

Studying Chinese in Korea

jobm - Jun 15 2016 07:59 PM in Studying Chinese outside of China

jobm avatar Hello, guys. I would just like to ask if anyone of you has studied in Korea (non-degree and/or degree especially master's)? I would just like to research on Sino-Korean and the language contact of China and Korea and I think doing a master's degree in Chinese linguistics in Korea will be a good idea. I have also looked on Chinese universities but I think the expertise of the Chinese language departments in China are not that much in this area. I am just concerned on the quality of graduate school in Korea and if...

Audio player

DonCachopo - Jun 15 2016 07:56 PM in Speaking and Listening Skills

Hi What audio player do you use (Windows) to listen files? I like VLC, but I don´t know why, the shortcut for time steps don´t work properly. In fact, is a madness: I press shift-left (short jump backwards) and it go back 3 secinds and then goes forward 1 minute. And these shortcuts are a must for me.   And in android, do you know a good player for learning languages??   Thanks!
