The latest and greatest!

Yes not many older ladies know pinyin. And it's quite a challenge when they send you a text message in romanised text with no tone marks!

Translators were all the rage when I visited Miss Woo back in 2009. But smartphones have taken over the world making them pretty much obsolete. I've not met a single lady now who has had a translator machine.

I've now dated two women here who haven't spoken much English. And yeah, it's a heck of a challenge. Although QQ translator does quite a good job. The main trouble is that it's just so hard to get the tenses of things right (amongst other things).

There are plenty of ladies who speak English here. But if anyone comes here and they need a human translator I know plenty.

Most woman who did have hand held translators used them for learning English - no so much for translating with.

In the past couple of years technology has taken over more and more and there are so many other better ways of conversing and learning English now.

Looking around I found an app for Iphone or Droid call Jibbigo. The beauty for me is being able to use it without a wifi connection or having roaming charges. $4.99.
