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 book is to provide you with a platform to improve your reading skills and your ability to use Chinese comprehensively so that you can easily read 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 chapter, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the reading rhythm to look up every word in the dictionary. Every paragraph 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 reader might have, if discouraged, of giving up and reading the whole story in English. So if you want to learn Chinese while having fun, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

Decent stories, but wish format was a bit different.
I havent read all the stories yet, but they are interesting enough and varied. After all, it is a book about learning Chinese so the stories have to be of different subjects. My only wish is that the pinyin was put right after the chinese sentence and not grouped in a whole paragraph. Or better yet, just have the tone marks above the characters and then have the pinyin grouped in a paragraph. Spacing the chinese sentences a bit so that we could write notes near certain charactes would have been appreciated too.

"Chinese Short Stories keeps it Simple. This is both smart and effective.
"Chinese Short Stories" is a well written book. It's level is appropriate for the advanced beginner - lower intermediate level student. By presenting the Hanzi, as well as pinyin and English together, students can immediately check their translation and understanding. Reading comprehension is checked after each story by a series of question and answers. "Chinese Short Stories" can be a useful complement to any Chinese Language student wanting to practice and/or expand upon their formal lessons. 5 stars! "

User friendly
The layout of the story is very clear and sensible. I like the idea that I am not straightaway drawn to either Pinyin or English translation. Ideally I would have preferred a much bigger font and more space between lines to work out myself the Chinese characters. Hence the 4 starts
