About this listen

If you want to learn Chinese in less time while also enjoying yourself, then keep reading....

What is the best way to learn Chinese? We should remember how we learned our own language when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult.

Think of what a child does; he or she listens to what people say and tries to copy the words. When he or she wants something, they have to ask for it. They are using the language, speaking it, and thinking in it all the time. Thus, if a second language is also used as frequently, it will be learned very quickly.

The main purpose of this audiobook is to provide you with a platform to improve your listening skills and your ability to use Chinese comprehensively so that you can easily listen and learn.

In Chinese Short Stories: 11 Simple Stories for Beginners Who Want to Learn Mandarin Chinese in Less Time While Also Having Fun, you will encounter rich and new but not too complex vocabulary, which is translated at the end of the section, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the rhythm to look up every word. Everything is translated, as well as the summary of the story, thus providing a clearer comprehension of each sentence, while trying to prevent the temptation that the listener might have, if discouraged, of giving up and listening the whole story in English.

So if you want to learn Chinese while having fun, get this audiobook today!

Sorry, it's wrong intonation

Great concept I would have loved it but couldn't get past the first chapter - the Chinese language speaker is speaking in non standard tones. Don't like that, as a learner should I not learn proper and correct tones?

opinion

The narrator's pronunciation is often innaccuate and tonally incorrect. As an english-chinese speaker trying to maintain my chinese, many words arent pronounced correctly and easily threw me off.
This idea for a book had great potential but was poorly executed. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Very bad pronunciation

This wasn’t read by a Chinese native speaker. You would waste waste your money and time.
