HanziWeave: Mandarin Reader

Read the books you love, and learn Mandarin while you do.

HanziWeave weaves the Chinese words you know into any English ebook. As you learn more words, more of each book turns Chinese. This way of learning (sometimes called the "diglot weave") keeps the story in English so you always understand what's happening, while you meet your Chinese words again and again in real sentences.
