studychinese Posted May 6, 2015 at 05:41 AM Report Posted May 6, 2015 at 05:41 AM Are there 8 levels of China Breeze graded readers? In the readers it says that there are, but I haven't seen any levels beyond 3 on sale. I've attached the page that claims that there are 8 levels. All said I quite like the readers. The authors manage to pack twists and turns into the narrative while using a very limited vocabulary and grammar, which is pretty incredible really. Quote
lechuan Posted May 6, 2015 at 07:00 AM Report Posted May 6, 2015 at 07:00 AM They have only published up to level 3 so far. You can see more information here. Quote
HerrPetersen Posted May 6, 2015 at 11:54 AM Report Posted May 6, 2015 at 11:54 AM When was the last book released? I think over a year ago? They have slowed down their release rate quiet a lot. I would not be surprised if there won't be any new books. Quote
stapler Posted May 6, 2015 at 12:25 PM Report Posted May 6, 2015 at 12:25 PM I wonder why they've stopped. The books seemed quite popular? Quote
Silent Posted May 6, 2015 at 12:33 PM Report Posted May 6, 2015 at 12:33 PM (edited) When was the last book released? I think over a year ago? Not really sure, but I think less. The site above mentioned is not up to date there is at least one more book. Also in the past they've been slow with releasing new books. I've the impression it comes with waves. Edit: disregard my remark about one more book, I just didn't look very well at the left the other book is mentioned. Edited May 6, 2015 at 12:37 PM by Silent Quote
Geiko Posted May 6, 2015 at 07:06 PM Report Posted May 6, 2015 at 07:06 PM Chinese breeze series have their own thread on the forums, for those of you who are expecting new books to be published it's very interesting to follow the topic, because elina gets in touch with the publisher very frequently and updates with first-hand information. For example, the last book (Friends) was released last October 2014 (not so long ago ) and it seems they're going to publish the first book of level 4 "soon" (see here). Quote
elina Posted May 7, 2015 at 07:02 AM Report Posted May 7, 2015 at 07:02 AM Yes, the last book of Chinese Breeze is Friends, level 3, 750 word level, released in October 2014, as Geiko mentioned. Till now, only 17 books are out, see here. And the next books will be published more slowly than their plan, maybe at the end of this year. I just added the books name in this thread. Quote
