After enjoying the first book in the series (Elementary) I was already looking forward to this one. Excited to be able to learn more Chinese as well as enjoy more great stories like the first one.
It provides a really nice range of different story types from folktales, myths, modern stories, poetry, idioms, stories from the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, accounts of great historical figures. Loads of variety to enjoy.
Having bilingual versions and Chinese-only version for every story is great, as well as the key vocabulary list and sentence patterns. Self-learning/teaching can be tough so its great having everything necessary to progress on my own terms. The audio is available on both YouTube playlist and to download as MP3, it’s awesome to have the option as sometimes I also like to listen with audio downloaded on my phone.
Just like the Elementary book it also has extra learning tips and “culture corners” that accompany the stories. I personally really enjoy getting that deeper understanding of Chinese culture as well as language and think it’s really important to have that appreciation in order to speak a language well with native speakers - you can definitely communicate much better when you have a deeper insight into the culture!
Overall fantastic book, it legitimately makes learning more fun. I hope there are more to come in the series!
