Description : A tool to assist English speakers to understand Chinese
Step Into Chinese is a flexible language-mining tool to assist
English speakers seeking to understand Chinese language.
The lack of a one-to-one correspondence between Chinese characters
and the corresponding Pinyin is often regarded as the greatest
difficulty facing learners of Chinese.
Step Into Chinese has been designed to address exactly this
difficulty.
.
Inside is an extensively cross-referenced data structure
which allows the user to pursue deeper understanding of
contexts, for example, by "locking on" to a particular Pinyin context
and viewing successive instances of the same morpheme used in similar
contexts.
