As with previous threads, the idea behind this is to have a - not quite - weekly post where learners of all levels, heritage and native speakers can post the Chinese content they have been consuming this week in whatever form.

If people also give an indication of their level (or the level of content) as well it can act as a way for people to discover new content which may be suitable for them.

    Discovering graded reader books. I’ve been so terrified of reading long texts that I started with Finding Hua Ma, in the Mandarin Companion series. It’s clearly below my level of vocabulary (it’s graded for 150 and I’m in the HSK 3/4) yet I do find it a bit exhausting anyway. The boost to confidence is great though, and a wonderful change from the mind-numbing repetitions of the final lesson in Duolingo…

    I’m definitely getting more graded readers! It’s exactly what I needed.
