Read Chinese News at Your Level
Reading Chinese news is a milestone goal for most learners, and the usual path there is brutal: native articles assume thousands of words you don't have yet. Chenjin's library includes news articles written for learners and graded from HSK 1 to 7.
Real events, level-appropriate sentences, audio included, and a dictionary one tap away.
News written for the level you're at
The library's news genre covers real subjects, space missions, typhoons, the World Cup, graded so an intermediate learner can read about them without a translator. A familiarity meter on every article shows how much of its vocabulary you already know before you commit.
Pinyin, word glosses, and a full translation are all toggles, on when you need them, off when you don't.
Listen like it's the radio
Every article has audio with adjustable speed, playable sentence by sentence. Read the article once, then listen without looking: that's news broadcast training with material you've already decoded.
Graduate to the real thing
When you want to try an actual Chinese news site, paste a paragraph into the free Chinese to pinyin converter: word-aware pinyin, tap any word for its meaning, no account needed. It's the bridge between graded news and the real feed.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a daily news feed?
No. The library is a growing catalog of graded articles, including a news genre about real events, rather than a same-day headline service. The goal is building the reading level that makes real news sites readable.
What level do I need to read news in Chinese?
Graded news starts at HSK 1 in Chenjin's library. Native news sites get workable somewhere around HSK 5 to 6, sooner with a tap dictionary in hand, and the vocabulary map shows you how close you're getting.
Why news instead of stories?
Both, ideally. News vocabulary repeats hard: the same government, economy, and disaster words come up constantly, so news reading pays off fast in real-world reading ability. Stories are better at keeping you turning pages.
