Sites are listed alphabetically by title. Those reviews which note links to other sites, especially as a major part of the site, will require additional exploration time by teachers to verify specific curriculum applications relevant to their classes. The USER LEVEL descriptor, Professional, is a pertinent reminder of such issues. Please note that changes happen daily on the Internet. Sites come and go.

Access to a helpful on line Chinese dictionary is provided here.

Prior to a search, users need to select: a Search mode; how they wish their results printed; Character type; Result ordering; and their Paste in character choice.

This dictionary search can provide responses in: characters; radical/stroke; number of strokes; Hanyu Pinyin; English meaning; Cantonese; and the traditional form of the characters if applicable. Information searched may give some guidance to users who need support in Chinese characters, or English meanings for single words. This site is also useful for those who wish to paste in Chinese characters or phrases, as the search will give information for all Chinese characters requested. E. Man
