Welcome! Chinastories teaches the 100 most commonly used characters and closed-set grammar structures to give you basic building blocks of Chinese. Our goal is to make Chinese fun and accessible for everyone.
Currently Chinastories is under development and is most effective as part of a guided class. For information about classes in your area, email signup@chinastories.org.
If you feel like playing around with the site in its current state, we recommend going through this way:
Go to Unit 1 Vocabulary and take a look at the words
Try playing some of the Unit 1 word games (coming soon!) to practice the words and pick out grammar patterns
Listen to the stories for Unit 1. Use the word list to translate and understand the stories. Listen to the stories a few times until you feel comfortable then move on to Unit 2
Don't worry if you don't understand right away, it takes a long time to figure this language out! Have fun!
