Our literature-based vocabulary wordlists or Reading Guides are a careful selection of Chinese vocabulary words and expressions listed in order of appearance from the Chinese version of universally well-known works. They are here to support you in your reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition.
Review the vocabulary word lists before reading the Chinese text to assess its level of difficulty or simply to learn more words from literary works. Each list comes with the Chinese characters, their pinyin and translation in English.
Note that many of the reading guides refer to titles available as FREE ebooks in our Chinese Reading section, including excerpts from the Chinese version of the Harry Potter series.
All Chinese reading guides are free for LITTLENEX Members.
Star Wars: Episode IV (written and directed by George Lucas, 1977) was forbidden under communist rule. The only way to get the story out was through the publication of this very comic book (Popular Science Press 1980, 147 pages, PDF).
It was first made available online by Maggie Greene and Brendan O'Kane. On a lighter note, this is also the perfect tool to learn your essential sci-fi vocabulary words in Chinese!

A selection of intermediate to advanced vocabulary words listed in order of appearance in the official Chinese translation of the Harry Potter series
Simplified Chinese characters (in grey), Pinyin (in blue), and English definitions (in green) are color-coded for a better reading experience. The format allows students and other learners to annotate directly on the pages. Certain names of characters or places in the Harry Potter novels are included according to their relevance or when they could represent a pitfall for the students.
The book arrived on time (…) and overall really is a great tool!
