A practical way to learn

Read for meaning first

Read the Chinese passage once without stopping at every unknown word. Identify who or what the passage is about, then use pinyin, audio, translation, or vocabulary notes to resolve the details that block your understanding.

Use a three-step comprehension routine

Read for the main idea, reread for key details, and finish with the comprehension questions. Reviewing one missed detail in context is more useful than translating every sentence before you begin.
