Appreciate the responses.... will look into all the suggestions made. I've
also got a 'Learn Madarin in 15 Minutes a Day' CD/Book at home which will
also help wih some of the basics.
Whilst this should assist with simple everyday (touristy) type scenarios, I
just don't want to sound like a tosser if I mispronouce simple tea related
things ;-)

Just a thought... would any of the group (who do not speak Chinese) find
a 'talking' bablecarp useful ?

While I use Babelcarp extensively (and appreciatively) , I'm constantly
wondering if I am interpreting the words/phrases properly. if we could say
type in 'Shu' to get the description as we usually do, what if you could
also click a button and hear a sound bite of the correct (or more common)
pronounciation.

Obviously a lot of work for someone, but do others on the group think that
this feature may be useful ?
