Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading and adding a new dictionary. One of the main reasons is that soon Pleco 2.0 will be coming out, and I find it incredulous that I'll be able to upgrade for free even though I bought Pleco so long ago. So I wouldn't mind giving some more of my money to support this great product.
Anyway, I bought Pleco about a year ago for a trip to China (and have returned multiple times since). I've been studying in my free time since. I bought Pleco Professional.
I probably don't need to buy anything else right now, but thinking of the upgrade to 2.0 has made me want to upgrade something now (yeah, I'm an idiot). So I'm considering adding the Oxford or maybe the cheng & tsui. The Oxford might be helpful since I'm still at a fairly low intermediate level (and that might be being optimistic), so I'm thinking it would probably provide extra example sentences to help me understand the meaning and usage when confused. The Cheng & Tsui I imagine would be less useful at this instance, but good when I get a little more advanced. I do occasionally attempt to talk about the stock market and such and am unable to find the correct words though. Might be more of a novelty purchase for me though.
Any suggestions? Or maybe I should wait for the new Chinese -> English dictionary coming out. Or slowly add them all. Though I'm interested in hearing if the Oxford dictionary would have much extra use for me on top of the ABC/NWP package.
Thanks,
Tony
