Today I want to share a very useful online tool which I use to convert the lyrics from Chinese characters to Hanyu Pinyin. I’ve been searching all over and this link is definitely the best I found: http://www.hotea.com/py.asp There you just write the Chinese characters in the first form, and then it gives you the converted pinyin version.
Many thanks to www.hotea.com for this useful tool!

I will be off for two weeks of Christmas Vacation. Thanks to all my readers and subscribers for your support! It was very interesting starting this blog. I wish everyone an enjoyable Christmas time and a happy new year!
Related or not so related posts:Since I had to go through some chemistry books in Chinese recently, I made a list of some chemical terms and their translation Chinese->German->English. Originally it was just as a help for myself, but here I will share it on my blog. Of course the average language learner will fortunately never need it, but maybe it’s helpful for someone out there… Who knows?

Disclaimer: This is list is very very random and far from complete, but tell me if you were looking for something specific that you couldn’t find.
Related or not so related posts:Just came over an interesting site, that has all its articles and even comments in both a Chinese and English version. This is certainly very helpful for intermediate to advanced Chinese learners, since they can read the Chinese version and afterwards the English version, to check if they understood everything correctly.
The site focuses on environmental issues. I only looked at a couple of articles and my impression so far is that it focuses more on good news and has an optimistic outlook. Maybe too optimistic sometimes, so the balance is a bit shifted…
But otherwise, it is an informative read and certainly helps to improve your Chinese skills. At the top right corner you can chose between English and Chinese. Some articles to get you started:

All right, so you learned that in Chinese a student is called 学生 right? But I’m afraid you will most likely not come over this word, because there are so many derivatives for different types of students. Basically 生 symbolizes student and what stands before it symbolizes the more exact meaning.
