Description

Excerpt from A Mandarin-Romanized Dictionary of Chinese<br/><br/>The learner having heard a word, or still better, two or more in combination, will find that this dictionary comes to his help even in the absence of teacher, first, that he may understand what he has heard, second, that he may ascertain its written form without laborious searching in the Radical indexes and huge dictionaries; and third, he may at the same time find a group of phrases more or less related to the one he has just heard. When a phrase is found the student should glance through the whole group where he will often find other equivalents or related phrases which he would like to learn at the same time. It is a good plan to look up the second, third, and fourth characters in a phrase as found under their own separate headings and thus pleasantly enlarge his acquire ments. To suppose a case: The learner has heard the expression ? E Q i. If he can, from hearing, judge that the first sound is An, he turns at once to Au, and under it he finds the phrase in question together with its relatives, and at the same time a ready road to larger dictionaries. To Suppose another case: in reading he finds the character Q. If he knows its sound he may at once find it and its group as in the preceding case. But if he does not recognize it, a reference to the radical index at the back will at once show where the character and its group are to be found.
