Finding the right level is easy: if you find yourself looking up a lot of words, go down a level. If you read one or two lessons in a row without need for any help, feel free to move up a level.\u00a0<\/p><p>Based on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/duchinese.net\/blog\/2019\/12\/27\/87-no-pain-all-gain-the-extensive-reading-approach-to-mastering-chinese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Extensive Reading (ER) approach<\/a>, when you find yourself in between levels, we always recommend leaning towards lessons that are easier for you. This way, you can focus more on reading comprehension, rather than interrupting your reading practice to look up too many words. Here&#8217;s a guide to our leveling system and how it relates to HSK 2.0 system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section

We recommend setting a range between extremely comfortable reading, slightly challenging reading, and moderately challenging reading. For example, if you find that the Upper Intermediate level is where you\u2019re the most comfortable, you can bounce around between Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, and Advanced depending on the amount of energy you want to put into studying that day. It\u2019s important to remember, however, that in the end it\u2019s exposure to the language and the act of reading itself that will benefit you the most!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ab25f8e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ab25f8e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4824fe4\" data-id=\"4824fe4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8906c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e8906c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What type of reading practice are you looking for?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e01e431 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e01e431\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ce7848\" data-id=\"2ce7848\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdc8a0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdc8a0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Du Chinese content isn\u2019t limited to single articles.
