Digestable, ligh hearted language.
The book was thinner than I expected There are 20 little stories of about 200-300 words, they are often light hearted and humerous, they contain a variety of gramatical structures and authentic language. Language points are discussed in the notes on the following pages. There are some comprehension exercises too. There is also a section on cultural insights which are translated into Chinese without pinyin.Having the pinyin above the characters in the main stories is useful for practice in character reading. I have found it appropirate to my level, not too easy. You need a vocabulary of about 1000 words to read it easily. Key vocabulary is highlighted next to the text. I often have to put some effort into translating the text, but it isn't impossible and I can check it with the translation at the back of the book. Repetion has allowed me to learn new vocabilary and grammar. The CD has pleasant clear voices, the sories are read at conversational speed. I will buy another volume.
