Beijing/Taipei with You: A Chinese Graded Reader for New HSK 1 (Audiobook)
Lisa had a plan: move abroad, ace her Chinese classes, and embrace a new adventure in one of the world’s most vibrant cities. Romance? Not exactly on the agenda. But that all changes when she’s greeted at the airport by a young local who helps her navigate the city’s twists and turns. He’s charming, helpful… and completely off-limits!
A chance encounter at a language exchange rekindles their connection, sparking chemistry that neither can ignore. But when Lisa suspects he has a girlfriend, things get awkward, fast. Cue a string of blush-worthy misunderstandings, mixed signals, and moments that make her wonder: is she falling for a guy who’s already taken?
“Beijing with You"/"Taipei with You" is a lighthearted Mandarin Chinese graded reader that lets you fall in love with the city's charm—and maybe a little romance on the side. Perfect for learners who want an easy-to-read, feel-good story that will make them smile, swoon, and keep turning the pages!

I loved it! The audio is clear, the story is fun, and finally, I could read at my Chinese level fluently! I'm reading it again like a child :D
Pros:
- Fun story
- Mostly easy words and simple grammar
- Decent glossary following each chapter
- Key words show up several times in the narrative, making it easier to master them.
- Professional-quality audio
- English translation at the back of the book (out of the way, but available if needed)
Cons:
- Story text does not include pinyin. For beginning readers, it's helpful to have the text printed twice, once with pinyin and once without it.
- A very few number of places where the text and the audio don't match
Conclusion:
- One of the best beginner-level Chinese books available
Note regarding the Kindle version:
- The Windows Kindle app only offers a small number of fonts, and the Chinese looks awful in all of them. However, you can read this book directly in your web browser at read.amazon.com, and it looks much better there.
