Good for learning Vietnamese
To help me learn Vietnamese, I open a Vietnamese online newspaper in my browser, open another tab for the Google translator and put this half screen. Other half is HEdictionary. I also have a hard copy pocket dictionary for rare occasions I can’t find a word.
Pros:
1. I have found 99% of words I type in. Typing in the exact spelling helps me learn all the letters/accents as well as finding them on my keyboard.
2. Hearing the word pronounced helps a lot.
3. Stores my words to review later/
Con:
1. After I get a rough idea of the transaltion of newspaper article, I use translate to compare Google with my translation. I lose the dictionary and have to click it open. A minor pain.
