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.

In 1994, Anchee Min made her literary debut with a memoir of growing up in China during the violent trauma of the Cultural Revolution. Red Azalea became an international bestseller and propelled her career as a successful, critically acclaimed author. Twenty years later, Min returns to the story of her own life to give us the next chapter, an immigrant story that takes her from the shocking deprivations of her homeland to the sudden bounty of the promised land of America, without language, money, or a clear path. It is a hard and lonely road.

please no more "again...."
respectfully, you really don't need to say"again, that's ____" just repeat the words. over the course of ten hours that would be very repetitive. I'm only 5 minutes in and it's getting difficult to stand. hopefully it improves, otherwise I really appreciate taking the time to make a course like this.
