读 DU Chinese

Can DU help me memorise Chinese vocabulary?

Absolutely! It's what DU is made for. Research papers have shown that our brains learn vocabulary best when it is remembered in the context of a short story or an article.

Will I find material that suits my interests?

Thanks to the broad range of topics that DU covers, every reader will find something that suits them. Recently, I have been making the most of DU's business section in preparation for my new job in China. Some of my students have been reading short stories on China's ancient history for their class assignments. The possibilities are endless!

I'm preparing for my HSK exams, will DU help me?

Yes! In every article and short story you read, the vocabulary is highlighted according to its HSK level. This way you can enjoy reading the article, whilst also assessing your knowledge of HSK vocabulary and seeing where you are missing core vocabulary.

I'm worried that if I buy a subscription, I won't be able to find the time for it

This is why DU has 3 types of subscription lengths to suit your timetable. If you feel that you can only commit a short amount of time to reading in Mandarin, you can get a 1 month subscription that will not renew itself. Who knows, maybe you'll be so thrilled with your progress in 1 month that you'll decide to go for the 12 month subscription!

Can I test it out first before I buy a subscription?

Of course! DU offers a free version where you can test out the platform and see if it suits you. If you decide to go all in and make this investment into your mandarin, you can use my discount code SINO10 and get 10% off ANY subscription! 😍
