CHINESE STORIES FOR LANGUAGE LEARNERS

If you just want to learn Chinese, study new vocabulary, proverbs, and idiomatic expressions, this book is absolutely perfect. I've been looking for ages for a bilingual book that also focuses on teaching. This book does that, it has the Chinese story in a traditional setting, the English translation, a vocabulary after each story, comprehension questions, and most importantly, the modern usage of the proverbs illustrated in a story set in the modern period. Its absolutely perfect for studying and ranges in my opinion from intermidate to advanced learners.As a Chinese instructor at a college in the U.S., I find this book is perfect for my Third Year Chinese class. I assigned stories from this book as extra readings, and I found in my students' write-ups that they generally enjoyed reading the stories and indeed learned a lot about Chinese culture from this book.

基本文法を習って辞書を引ければ使えますあとカバーデサインも落ち着いていて外で開きやすいのが意外と良かった

I was a Chinese student many years ago and was looking for a good refresher textbook. This collection of Chinese stories is thoughtfully designed, suitable for intermediate learners (i.e. with 2-3 years of Chinese) as well as more advanced learners who want to build their vocabulary or refresh their grammar. I found that the stories are lively and entertaining, and the English translations (which you can use or not) are helpful. I think it would be helpful as a classroom supplement, a one-on-one tutoring book, or as a self-study guide.

Book and related audio not only hold my interest but are improving my Mandarin Chinese. Would be thrilled if they made a series of these.

If you know someone learning Chinese this is the book to give to them!
