@alun it uses the characters mainly, but has the pinyin alongside/ more a pop up when you touch the character.

@Ogl77 That sounds interesting. I'm slowly working through Spanish, and my plan was to move to Portuguese next for work. But I'll be interested to see how you get on.

@alun would love to have a pan-iberian/latin-america ability! With the mandarin, the spoken tones are goning to be a huge hurdle when in the real world type situation!
