IN THIS LESSON
ID: 4015 Elementary
  ChinesePod has always been focused on improving your speaking and listening, with less emphasis on reading and writing, but when our friends over at Mandarin Companion got in touch and asked if we wanted to collaborate on a few lessons, we were excited. In this first lesson, we discuss the importance of reading in Chinese. In the upcoming shows, we will show you ways that using readers can improve your Mandarin, as well as teaching you the key language needed to be able to discuss what you have read. If you want to learn more about Mandarin Companion's range of books, you can download free samples from their website here.
