nciku
My favourite online Mandarin dictionary. They now have bilingual ebooks for iPad users. The books come with text and audio version, you could also see pinyin for Chinese text.
MDGB
Another good online dictionary/ learning site. If you are learning Chinese characters, you might want to play this game: click Practice, go to Character Quiz, enjoy!
Pinyin/ Yale Input
An online Mandarin/ Cantonese input tool, converts romanization systems into characters.
Google Translate
There are many unreliable online translation tools out there, but the Google tool is truly not bad!

Noah and T-Rex
Noah was holding this T-Rex Paper Animation Kit, came to me and said, “nǐ kěyǐ gēn wǒ zuò zhè gè ma ? bàba bù gēn wǒ zuò 。māma bù gēn wǒ zuò 。pópo bù gēn wǒ zuò.”
你可以跟我做这个吗? 爸爸不跟我做。妈妈不跟我做。婆婆不跟我做。
你可以跟我做這個嗎? 爸爸不跟我做。媽媽不跟我做。婆婆不跟我做。
Eng: Could you do this with me? Daddy didn’t want to do it with me. Mummy didn’t want to do it with me. Granny didn’t want to do it with me.
I was touched. How could I turn this little boy down? I was the one he tuned to when his family had “turned their backs on” him.
It was great fun making the craft. I was hooked after 10 minutes.
