When I try to find how to say celebrities'names in Chinese, I usually go on Wikipedia and go to see the page in Chinese, but I don't know if it's really a good way. I've never checked it. This is what I've found for Novak Djokovic:

諾瓦克·喬科維奇

Nuòwǎkè Qiáokēwéiqí

Check if you can with Chinese friends.

I don't have smartphone, that's why I use paper and pen ! ;-) I've seen that Pleco is an app. This is certainly something you could try. (Actually, with all of you guys talking about Iphones and Android and so on, I wonder if I wouldn't better buy a smartphone, just to use learning Chinese apps...)

Yes, mate, that's what I did when I started to learn Chinese. Well, not a whole page, there's no need to write so many times the same character. It's certainly not the only way, but it was quite effective. There are 214 radicals.

Well, I study in the ancient way: paper and pen. But I think that Chinesepod tools (Flashcards) can be useful. And I'm sure that other poddies know many useful programs.

I do agree with Tysond. It's necessary to study regularly. Even Chinese people need to practice regularly. But I know that, with radicals, the more you learn characters the more it will be easy to learn them because you will make links between them. 加油,朋友 !

Susana, I have not listened to the lesson, but I was curious about two things in your comment :

1. What is a Biguiyuan apartment ?

2. I thought (I should say 我以为) that foreign people could not buy appartments in China. Is it simple to buy one when you're a 老外 ? Do many foreign people working in China buy appartments or houses ?

Is it possible to use 开除 to say to expel someone from a country ?
