A dictionary will really let you learn languages? In my experience with learning French, I have a huge doubled-sided French Dictionary, but it only teaches me the words. It doesn't help me with pronunciation, grammar, how to write/speak it, etc. Maybe learning Chinese is different, I don't know. Obviously, vocabulary counts, but I didn't know if there was some way that one could get help learning the grammar of, and how to speak the language.
I'm glad I was of some help. Sometimes, I think teaching oneself languages could be more effective then a class. Yet at the same time, one could be lacking in the socialization of that language. I taught myself French, German, Portueguese, and Spanish, later on I took Spanish as a class. I started teaching myself Japanese, Russian, and was about to teach myself one of the Chinese dialects, but I never had the chance to get any dictionary. I'm not that fluent in the recent ones, and I'm starting to get rusty on my other languages that I taught myself since I left my dictionaries back at my hometown and there's no one around who speaks these languages.

Wow, I guess I'm in luck then if using dictionaries really helps. I just bought myself a Japanese language set course that has CD's with native speakers so you can hear what it sounds like, a double-sided Japanese English Dictionary, and a book that goes over the grammar of the language, etc. I'm looking to buy one of these for Mandarin, and one for French to help me brush up on the exacts and specifics of it.
If one can teach oneself with a Dictionary, I hope all the extras I have will help even more. :D
