Fantastic app, but some requests
First, this is a fantastic app and I’m excited that I can read so much interesting content at my level. I am a heritage speaker and always dreaded reading Chinese growing up. I was so happy that I could read the Three Kingdoms Romance since they made an easy abridged version. The level, the translation, the hidden pinyin, and the read-aloud options all made for a really enjoyable reading experience.
Some recommendations:
1. There is so much content though and it is hard to find things (unless I save them). I wish they had a section where it was just all Chinese literature since those are so important for understanding and connecting to Chinese culture.
2. Include the title, chapter, and author of the novels in Chinese. I see that I’m reading “The Three Kingdoms 1: The Beauty Trap” but I don’t know how to say that in Chinese.
3. Add the other classic novels please! The Three Kingdoms Romance is one of four great Chinese novels, but where are the other three?
Anyways, thank you for putting this app together!carrie8899
The absolute best
I grew up speaking Mandarin, but was basically illiterate. In just 13 months of using this app, I’ve learned over 2,000 characters, easily read at HSK level 5, and can even make nuanced cultural and historical references, all thanks to Du Chinese. My relatives are nothing short of blown away.
They have the best user interface bar none, with dictionary definitions and sentence translations available at the touch of a button. Their articles are also actually interesting, informative, and relevant. There is no easier or better way to learn how to read (or should I say du?) Chinese.none of yo buisness
Awesome source for comprehensible input
Du Chinese was recommended by my Chinese teacher and I’m so glad he did because I’ve been getting a lot out of it. I like listening to the stories first and writing down my summary of the story and then going back and reading out loud to myself. My in-class reading out loud has noticeably improved since I started reading more using Du Chinese.
It’s really helpful for me play sections of the narration while I’m reading to compare my cadence, emphasis and pronunciation to the narrator’s. The help with pronunciation and cadence has been an unexpected boon, I really thought Du Chinese would mostly just benefit my listening and reading comprehension.
Highly recommend!! Also the iPhone app is very nice to use.Rebekahscross
