Important Note Added to Pīnyīn-English Web Pages

The following important note has been added to the Disclaimer sections of the Pīnyīn-English web pages:

• IMPORTANT: Please do not use this material as an excuse or as a crutch to just “get by” or “muddle through” at Chinese meetings or Bible discussions. By all means, make good use of this material in such settings, but most importantly, use this material to help you really improve your knowledge and understanding of the Chinese language, so that you can 1) listen with more understanding and 2) speak more effectively from your heart while praising Jehovah and preaching and teaching the good news in the Chinese field.

The above applies in principle to 3-line material too.
