Mandarin Companion is a series of easy-to-read novels in Chinese that are fun to read and proven to accelerate language learning。 Every book in the Mandarin Companion series is carefully written to use characters, words, and grammar that a learner is likely to know。

The Breakthrough Level is written using only 150 unique Chinese characters and is intended for Chinese learners who have obtained a low elementary or novice level of Chinese。 Most learners will be able to approach this book after one year of traditional formal study, depending on the learner and program。 This level is designed to help learners begin to read full-length texts in Chinese and combines simplicity of characters with an easy-to-understand storyline that helps beginners grow their vocabulary and language comprehension abilities。

This is the second book I have finished in the Mandarin Companion series。 I wanted to like this book, but I just really didn't。 In comparison with "In Search of Hua Ma" this story felt very uninspired。 This is the second book I have finished in the Mandarin Companion series。 I wanted to like this book, but I just really didn't。 In comparison with "In Search of Hua Ma" this story felt very uninspired。 。。。more

Speaker in dialogue confusing at times。

These are so great! I was able to read the breakthrough level after a couple months of learning mandarin。 Unlike the Pleco graded readers, the vocab is actually appropriate for beginners and not a lot of random unknown hanzi。

Cori

This was definitely my favorite of the series so far。 The plot is simple, but the romance theme led to a lot of moments that made me laugh。

I started learning Mandarin in the lockdown because I was bored and got plenty of time。 Never thought that I can actually read a book in Mandarin in at least two or three years, as it took me 4 years in university learning French plus one year living in the country but until now I still can't read French books with ease。 So how can I read a book in Mandarin, a language with a different writing system that I have taught myself for only some months? 我们是朋友吗?is at Breakthrough level in series of gra I started learning Mandarin in the lockdown because I was bored and got plenty of time。 Never thought that I can actually read a book in Mandarin in at least two or three years, as it took me 4 years in university learning French plus one year living in the country but until now I still can't read French books with ease。 So how can I read a book in Mandarin, a language with a different writing system that I have taught myself for only some months? 我们是朋友吗?is at Breakthrough level in series of graded readers by Mandarin Companion。 On their website they say that anyone that has learned 150 Chinese characters can read this book。 In my case, by the time I started reading, my vocabulary was just about 100 characters but I can say that I was able to understand the book without too much difficulty。 Besides, the story is entertaining, I'm impressed by how the authors managed to narrate a story by only 150 words and still make it interesting。 I'll read another book at the same level, try to learn 150 more words in the meantime then go on to their Level 1 books。 。。。more

I really enjoy these mandarin companion books。 I’ve moved onto reading the Level 1 books in the morning as they take more cognitive effort and I would read a chapter or two of this breakout level book before bed as I didn’t have to translate in my head as much and could just read it。 The story was fun and the illustrations help give a little more context if you’re unsure of a particular segment。
