Rapidly build lists for decoding Chinese script.
This project is built to explore possibilities of Pearson's Longman English-Chinese Dictionary API. While the dictionary is constructed to describe English to Chinese readers, it still offers some potential for English speakers decoding Chinese script.
While on a research trip to China, I found myself making a lot of lists to extend the character lists offered by my phrasebook. Hand writing these lists was useful to learning, but time-consuming. My goal with this project is to craft the fastest option for building customized lists for decoding Chinese.
Practical uses include:
-
Menu decoders tailored to personal tastes and dietary restrictions
-
Name and direction references for your taxi driver
-
Sign and vocab lists customized for unique errands not addressed in general phrasebooks
