If you are thinking of learning Chinese/Mandarin by yourself and save some tuition money. Try out nciku, I am sure it will provide you some help. Nciku is not only a English to Chinese dictionary but you could translate pinyin to English word.
If you mouseover the Chinese character, it will provide you the pinyin, which you will be able to help you learn further. There is also help by listening to the actual Chinese Pronunciation.
You could also learn the correct method to write some Chinese character, there is flash video of how the characters is written by the stroke.
The best feature yet is the ability to accept handwritten Chinese characters with the help of flash. Look at my ugly writing of the word “Wo” that means “Me”. I am pretty bad in Chinese words, but this would definitely be useful in the future.
They are currently only in beta mode, but I am sure there is much more letters, sound and video to be included into this great English to Chinese Dictionary.
