字典 More than just an on-line dictionary

陳老師在上禮拜天提到了 部首 ,大家可以在這個連結 link:
MDBG 中英線上字典

進去這個線上字典, 左邊有一個筆畫 Radical / strokes

For example: 口 (Its total stroke is 3) 你們會看到左邊Strokes的column 有一個3
you'll find 口 in "3 column". 口 is the first word. Click it. You will enter in Characters 字 page. Let's take 吃 as an example. In 吃, excluding a radical (部首)口, how many strokes are left in this part, 乞? The answer is three, you spend three strokes to finish 乞. So you will find 吃 in "3 column". Vice versa 吵 is in "4 column" because 少 are 4 strokes. Last but not least, you can click the word 吃. You can not only choose icons of a pen to see how you write this word, but also choose the icon of a magnifying glass to see English definition. G is for Google, you can know more information about this word or its related knowledge.

工欲善其事,必先利其器: To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools.
Hope this dictionary could be a helpful tool when you learn Chinese.
