must add to your learning Mandarin library

Excellent readers...because these readers are NOT based on elementary Mandarin text books...the character set will stretch you more than other readers. It's a different philosophy...because of that these are more advanced than I originally thought. However...every time I came across a character I did not know...I confirmed with my Chinese friends and with HSK vocabulary that these were must know characters. Start with the 500 Word reader and build up to the others. The MP3's are also very valuable.
NOTE: These readers include the pinyin...which can save you a lot of time "looking up" words/characters you may not know.

Great book!

January 22, 2014

For intermediate-level students, this is an excellent book on several counts. It is composed of six stories, each some 40-50 pages in length, so it gives a student the opportunity to read something other the short essays that are typically found in textbooks. The selected stories are by well-known writers and are known to most Chinese. The book has a fairly comprehensive word list at the end with words categorized by pinyin, which saves a ton of time by comparison to looking them up in a dictionary. In the short stories, pinyin is immediately above the characters. The book comes with a cardboard card with lines cut in it so that a reader can cover the pinyin and see only the characters. The book also has a disk to allow the reader to hear the story being read (for some reason, the disk plays on my computer but not in my car CD) ; my only quibble is really one of personal preference, the reader is a guy whose voice isn't as clear as most of the female readers I've heard).

This is a great book for intermediate-level students. I wish the author would use her skills to create a comprehensive textbook series.

I did not receive the MP3 CD with the book. Other than that the book is great for studying! I love having the pinyin above the characters as I read along.
