Review from GoEast Mandarin
We highly recommend you read Imagin8 Press books. Maybe you’re an adult who has spent a few hundred hours learning Chinese. If so, it may be rather demotivating to be reading about bears having picnics or kids’ mischievous adventures. But this is exactly what many Chinese graded readers offer. For this, Imagin8 Press is such a relief; you can combine reading for fun with learning Chinese. The stories are genuinly interesting.
The Pinyin and English ‘backup’ are a great help, plus Imagin8 Press supplies an audio version of each book. And this is actually turned out to be a huge benefit. Reading a Chinese-graded reader is still requires a lot of mental effort, and this way you can relax a little bit, so it’s less daunting to read after a long day at work or school. Plus, because you read and listen at the same time, you’re improving your Chinese listening ability.
