Thanks to this great tool, I am now one step closer to be able to read sites like qq.com (step one). It doesn’t even matter that I probably forgot a significant part of the about 150-200 characters I had learned, since I “took a break” from my Chinese studies last may.
Perapera-kun is a Firefox addon, which can show you the pinyin and translation of one or more characters on mouse over. It works with both simplified and traditional characters, and is a great aid when studying Chinese. It is truly brilliant, and works for both beginners and advanced hanzi readers.
