        Hi, I'm a student.

        I have the BESTA Electronic Dictionary, the one approved by MOE.

        Generally the MOE approved ones covers the basic phrases and words.

        Which model are you referring to?

            If u want the better Besta - with foreign languages, translation - I got one around $600+. It was very useful for a start - after a while, the child may stop using it and the info in them can be obtained fm internet

At home, I go to this website:nciku.com This website offers translation, though I do not know the accuracy in the sample sentences it provides. But it works well for me.

                If you’re planning to use the Besta at home, CD668s is very reliable…I use it a lot now…don’t have to refer to dictionary anymore. It also has Collins dictionary (part of the package).

                  Does this Besta CD668s come with Chinese-English and English-Chinese translation function?

                  Also does it have an audio function where I can hear the sound of the word? My Mandarin's not too good, so need all the help I can get to help my dd. :oops: :oops:

                  Thanks

                    Yes it does. I have a CD668s at home too - it's a very good investment. My kids use them on a daily basis too.
