So it wasn't years ago. Because my lecturer explained the fanqie system really well, i think its useful. Useful in the context, that long ago people didn't have the dictionary systems like today. I don't recommend using this sort of dictionary system nowadays. hiya,

And was this recently, or years ago? I'm curious about how usable it was. BTW, I'm putting a correct version of fǎnqiè into the post instead of the "fǎnqiē" I had originally. That's what my dictionaries say. Hi Mike, so did you actually use the fǎnqiè system, or just learn about it from a historical perspective? And was this recently, or years ago?
