Chinese reading with audio
Every story here has its own audio. As it plays, the sentence being read is highlighted, so you can follow the sound with your eyes.
Slow the audio down for a hard story, or tap a sentence to hear it again as many times as you need.
Reading and listening together
- Read the story once, then listen with the text and watch the highlighted sentence.
- Replay the sentences you could not follow; slow the speed down if you need to.
- Listen once more without looking. Each pass makes the next one easier.
