What can reading Chinese books do for us?
There are many reasons why a person would want a book written in Chinese. Perhaps you are a student of Chinese history, language and culture, and want the experience of reading a famous work of Chinese literature the way it was written years ago.
You may be a student of the Chinese language, and looking for a way to enhance your learning. This method of improving your understanding of written Chinese is not necessarily obvious, but it is one of the best learning tools you’ll find.
Imagine the possibilities. If you’re learning Chinese and feel that you have a decent grasp of the language in its written form, picking up a book originally written in Chinese may still feel a bit overwhelming. Consider the difference, though, if you attempt to read a Chinese translation of a book you’ve already read and enjoyed. Many extremely popular authors, such as Stephenie Meyer, J.K. Rowling, Laura Ingalls Wilder and thousands more have had their works translated into Chinese and we are making them available to the English-speaking market.
Reading a book you’re already familiar with can allow you to check your understanding, make it easier to reason your way through passages that are a bit difficult to understand, and provide you with a truly unique reading experience. Though it probably won’t be easy the first time, you’ll be rewarded after finishing an entire book in Chinese by knowing that you now have a much firmer grasp of the written language.
With all the popular titles becoming available, you don’t need to worry any longer about finding these books, and you can begin enjoying the beauty of written Chinese right away! We are an online Chinese bookstore and we’re here to help you find all the Chinese books that you want to read. We also are able to do ‘request’ orders in many cases where you tell us which books you want to read and we can look into getting them for you. We aim to make reading Chinese books become as accessible as possible.
