Chinese dictionary
A Chinese dictionary (词典 cídiǎn) for learners. Every entry keeps its meanings under the reading
they belong to, so a word read two ways is two sets of meanings rather than one list to guess at.
Look a character up by its
部首
A character you have only ever seen in print has no reading to search
for. Find the radical you can see in it, count the strokes that are
left, and read down the table. It is the oldest way into a Chinese
dictionary and still the only one that works on a character you have
never heard said aloud.
