Skritter

My colleague and friend Shen Lei recently directed me to a new website for studying Chinese characters. Skritter is quite useful, and a bit addictive. They give you a two-week free trial. Thereafter, reasonably priced monthly subscriptions are offered. Be sure to check out the "Resources" link on their site. They link to and review several web-based dictionaries and other applications I use regularly for online reading and translation.
