  1. speed up your Chinese reading

    Wow, I wish I had discovered this a little earlier in my Chinese language journey. It’s really helpful to have somebody read out the sentences and give a lot of grammar context, alternative meanings and good pronunciation. This has really sped up my Chinese reading and is very good for my Chinese in general. Very good that Yoyo uses the standard book so we can all easily follow each lesson.
