Questions about 桥
How is 桥 used in a sentence?
This page shows 17 sentences using 桥 (qiáo, "Bridge"), each with pinyin, an English translation and audio. Every one of them was written by hand for this site.

Why do some sentences show 桥 inside a longer word?
Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 桥 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
