Story
One of the toughest languages to learn, it’s never been easy to find story material in Chinese.… However, we’ve created a book that will change all of that. Language learning isn’t just about lessons or practice – it’s about consistency. You may have found the best teacher in town or the most incredible learning app around, but if you don’t put all of that knowledge to practice, you’ll soon forget everything you’ve obtained. This is why being engaged with interesting material can be so essential for somebody wishing to learn a new language.

Story
“In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king” repeats in Chen Fangyuan’s mind after he finds himself trapped in a valley holding a community of people for whom a disease eliminated their vision many generations before and no longer have a concept of sight. Chen Fangyuan quickly finds that these people have developed their other senses to compensate for their lack of sight. His insistence that he can see causes the entire community to believe he is crazy.
Summary
If you want to learn Chinese in less time while also enjoying yourself, then keep reading....
What is the best way to learn Chinese? We should remember how we learned our own language when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult.
Think of what a child does; he or she listens to what people say and tries to copy the words. When he or she wants something, they have to ask for it. They are using the language, speaking it, and thinking in it all the time. Thus, if a second language is also used as frequently, it will be learned very quickly.
The main purpose of this audiobook is to provide you with a platform to improve your listening skills and your ability to use Chinese comprehensively so that you can easily listen and learn.
In Chinese Short Stories: 11 Simple Stories for Beginners Who Want to Learn Mandarin Chinese in Less Time While Also Having Fun, you will encounter rich and new but not too complex vocabulary, which is translated at the end of the section, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the rhythm to look up every word. Everything is translated, as well as the summary of the story, thus providing a clearer comprehension of each sentence, while trying to prevent the temptation that the listener might have, if discouraged, of giving up and listening the whole story in English.
So if you want to learn Chinese while having fun, get this audiobook today!

Really good tool!
I almost didn't buy this audio because of other reviews but this was perfect for me. It's a little challenging and I don't understand everything but there is plenty of English explanation. Any level of Chinese learner will benefit from this book.

no PDF?
This is probably fine if you already have acquired 1000 words or so, I imagine. If you are a beginner (like the title suggests this is for), you will be lost : no pictures, no words to follow along with; they give a verbal translation but not soon enough (I'd recommend after each short sentence). It's useless to me now. Maybe later. I can't recommend this to beginners. Plus the stories are for kiddies, not really interesting for adults who aren't entertained by stories of talking mice.
