Learning Chinese blogging

Chinese language is my mother tongue. I speak Chinese (Mandarin, Teochew, Hokkien and so on). I write Chinese, I read Chinese. All these are natural to me. However, when come to Chinse computing, it is not something natural to me. I have been avoiding writing Chinese language using my computer for years … It is not really something that I can write easily using computer.

However, when I like to communicate with my friends from China, it is not so natural to write my email in English as English is still not a language that is commonly use in China.

After some thought and also encouragement of my friends, I have decided to start a Chinese blog and hope by maintaining a iTeochew I will write more often Chinese character using my computer. Hopefully by doing so, my Chinese writing using computer will improve gradually.

Joojen introduced Sogou pinyin input to me. This is really a very fast and good free Chinese pinyin software system. You may like to download and give it a try.
