Hi!

Hi,I wasn't sure where to introduce myself so here looks good...

I'm new to Mandarin and ChinesePod. I've just started studying Mandarin as part of my major in uni and I think I'll need all the help I can get. ;)

I'm Australian but have been living in Hong Kong for about 3 years now. I can speak a bit of Cantonese and am already noticing many similarities.

One question I have is, how does everyone type characters into their computer? I know it's possible to use a writing pad or a radical system but I have neither and would love a recommendation of what to start with.

Cheers!

Murray
