Which level should I choose?

One where you understand most of the text without help. If you are tapping several words in every line, go one level down; the placement test can suggest a level.

How are the questions made?

They are built from the story itself: its key words and the sentences they appear in.

Will the words stay with me?

Words you save come back in spaced-repetition review, so you meet them again just before you would forget them.

Chinese reading comprehension practice

Comprehension grows from reading many texts at the right level. These stories sit between HSK 2 and HSK 5, each with its new words listed beside the text.

After each story, the Practice tab asks you about the words you just met, so you can check you understood them in context.

A routine that builds comprehension

Read the story once for the gist, without stopping.
Read again and tap the words you missed; look at the new words beside the text.
Answer the Practice questions, then review the words you saved over the next days.
