12. Use an English dictionary.
Tip of the Day
(2)
Use an English dictionary.
It seems easier if we know the meaning of an English word in Chinese. But just as in the games of Chinese chess and western chess, one has to learn the relationship between the pieces and their moves in either game in order to play the game. The two games may be compared but not mixed.
