Book excerpt: Reading is one of the most effective and fun ways to learn Mandarin Chinese, but the biggest frustration has been finding the right level of reading materials that are not only appropriate but also engaging to keep reading and improving. We are here to provide the solution and help language learners like you improve your Chinese through short stories that are not only leveled but also cover a range of topics so that you can enjoy reading and have fun studying Chinese simultaneously! Extensive Grading Process for Classifying Our Stories at the Right Level Research shows that understanding a text without needing the help of a dictionary requires the reader to understand 95% or more of the vocabulary used in the text. To improve one's language skills, the "input" (reading materials) needs to be one level above the learner's level. With that in mind, the AL Language Cafe team goes through an extensive process to ensure our stories are properly assigned to the appropriate level. There are many factors that our team takes into consideration, one of them being the percentage of known words based on the official HSK vocabulary list. In addition, our team also takes into consideration whether the new words are critical to understanding the main concepts of the story.

Download or read book Hacking Chinese written by Olle Linge and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-26 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning Chinese can be frustrating and difficult, partly because it's very different from European languages. Following a teacher, textbook or language course is not enough. They show you the characters, words and grammar you need to become proficient in Chinese, but they don't teach you how to learn them! Regardless of what program you're in (if any), you need to take responsibility for your own learning. If you don't, you will miss many important things that aren't included in the course you're taking. If you study on your own, you need to be even more aware of what you need to do, what you're doing at the moment and the difference between them. Here are some of the questions I have asked and have since been asked many times by students: How do I learn characters efficiently? How do I get the most out of my course or teacher? Which are the best learning tools and resources? How can I become fluent in Mandarin? How can I improve my pronunciation? How do I learn successfully on my own? How can I motivate myself to study more? How can I fit learning Chinese into a busy schedule? The answers I've found to these questions and many others form the core of this book. It took eight years of learning, researching, teaching and writing to figure these things out. Not everybody has the time to do that! I can't go back in time and help myself learn in a better way, but I can help you! This book is meant for normal students and independent language learners alike. While it covers all major areas of learning, you won't learn Chinese just by reading this book. It's like when someone on TV teaches you how to cook: you won't get to eat the delicious dish just by watching the program; you have to do the cooking yourself. That's true for this book as well. When you apply what you learn, it will boost your learning, making every hour you spend count for more, but you still have to do the learning yourself. This is what a few readers have said about the book: "The book had me nodding at a heap of things I'd learnt the hard way, wishing I knew them when I started, as well as highlighting areas that I'm currently missing in my study." - Geoff van der Meer, VP engineering "This publication is like a bible for anyone serious about Chinese proficiency. It's easy for anyone to read and written with scientific precision." - Zachary Danz, foreign teacher, children's theatre artist About me I started learning Chinese when I was 23 (that's more than eight years ago now) and have since studied in many different situations, including serious immersion programs abroad, high-intensity programs in Sweden, online courses, as well as on the side while working or studying other things. I have also successfully used my Chinese in a graduate program for teaching Chinese as a second language, taught entirely in Chinese mostly for native speakers (the Graduate Institute for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language at National Taiwan Normal University). All these parts have contributed to my website, Hacking Chinese, where I write regularly about how to learn Mandarin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 孔子是中国人的代表，两千五百多年来，中国人代代相传，或多或少，都有孔子的精神血统。 他生在周灵王二十一年，比印度的释迦牟尼小六岁，比希腊的苏格拉底大八十二岁，比犹太的耶苏大五百五十二岁 Confucius is a sterling representative of the Chinese people. For the past 2,500 years, generation after generation of Chinese have all, to some degree, been related to Confucius as his spiritual descendants. Confucius was born during the Chou Dynasty, in the twenty-first year of the reign of King Ling. He was six years younger than Sakyamuni, eighty-two years older than Socrates, and five hundred fifty-two years older than Jesus Christ. 这六百年中，世界上诞生了四位伟大的哲人，是史无前例的。 The birth of these four great thinkers within a period of six hundred years is a coincidence unprecedented in history.

This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock the mystical world of ancient China's ghostly folklore with our new adaptations of classic Chinese literary works. Immerse yourself in the supernatural realm while honing your Chinese skills and uncovering centuries-old mythology, traditions, and beliefs. In this collection, we have carefully curated 15 intriguing ghost or supernatural stories, presented in both Chinese and English. These stories are new adaptations of selected tales from renowned literary works in China, including Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio 《聊斋志异》, Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang 《酉阳杂俎》, Anecdotes About Spirits and Immortals《搜神记》, and more. We adapt these stories for a couple of reasons. First, classic Chinese literature is often written in a style that differs significantly from modern Chinese, posing challenges for contemporary readers. Second, some of these works serve not merely as entertainment but as records of extraordinary events and folklore, employing straightforward language without elaborate storytelling. Our new adaptations preserve the original plots while presenting them in modern standard Mandarin with a more engaging narrative. This approach allows readers to enjoy the stories while learning common and useful vocabulary and expressions. The 15 stories are: 1. The Ghost Pressing Down on the Bed 咬鬼 2. The Ghost with Painted Skin 画皮 3. The Headless Ghost 无头鬼 4. Hanba the Drought Demon 旱魃鬼 5. The Lonely Wandering Soul 孤魂野鬼 6. The Vengeful Spirit 冤鬼 7. Zhong Kui Kills Ghosts 钟馗杀鬼 8. The Fox Spirit 狐狸精 9. The Tree Demon 树妖 10. The Water Demon 水鬼 11. Soul Snatching 勾魂 12. Underworld Official 鬼吏 13. Deceased Son Visits in Dream 亡儿托梦 14. Body Possession 附身 15. Reincarnation 投胎 Furthermore, we provide bilingual explanations of key terms at the end of each story. This helps our readers understand the story better, enrich their reading experience, and further explore Chinese mythology, beliefs, and culture. Upon finishing the book, readers will have gained a fundamental grasp of the Chinese perspective on spirits and ghosts. This knowledge not only enhances their appreciation of Chinese cinema and literature but also offers insights into Chinese culture.
