A request to Chinese learners Hello language learners! I have a request to make. Recently I began to learn Chinese Mandarin and for the first time I encounter a problem - not enough material. Currently I'm using pod-casts from ChinesePod, but there format doest work for me as a really language break-through method. Which I really would like to obtain are adaptive audio-books of A1 level, i.e. for the very beginners. The difference between pod-casts and audio-books is huge: from pod-casts one picks up useful stuff here and there, not really switching to the language in my opinion, whereas audio-books include no explanations in English, even though using a kindergarten vocabulary and manner of speech. For instance, in the beginning of my Spanish-learning occupation I was fortunate in bumping into this audio-book: http://www.uchiyaziki.ru/index.php/audiokursi-ispanskogo-yazika-skachat/267-audiokurs-ispanskiy-yazik-dumay-i-govori (no russian in the book, by the way) Or for German: http://books.google.ru/books/about/Anna_Berlin.html?id=EzUECrjRvRQC&redir_esc=y So far I found only one book, not that easy for me however: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12048076-wo-yi-ding-yao-zhao-dao-ta As ever Russians do, I'm searching for available-for-free material :) So I would be grateful if you have something in mind to offer, thank you.
