Extensive reading is one of the most effective ways to build vocabulary and improve fluency. Our chinois graded readers apply the comprehensible input principle: you read stories written just above your current CEFR level, picking up new words naturally from context. Every page features a margin glossary so you never break your reading flow to look up a word. After each chapter, comprehension and vocabulary exercises reinforce what you've read, and QR codes link directly to online flashcards and matching games for spaced repetition practice. From A1 beginner to C2 proficiency, every chinois book is available as an ebook, paperback, or hardcover — choose the format that fits your learning style.
À propos du chinois
Où l'on parle chinois
Le chinois (mandarin, putonghua) est langue officielle en Chine continentale et à Taïwan et l'une des langues officielles de Singapour. L'écriture est partagée entre variétés ; les formes parlées diffèrent selon les régions.
Combien de locuteurs ?
Le mandarin compte bien plus de 900 millions de locuteurs natifs ; toutes les variétés chinoises réunies atteignent environ 1,2 à 1,3 milliard de locuteurs L1.
Grammaire et structure
La grammaire du mandarin est largement analytique : pas de flexion de temps ou de genre au verbe ; aspect et temps s'expriment par des particules et le contexte. L'ordre des mots est strictement SVO ; des classificateurs accompagnent les numéraux et démonstratifs. En standard, quatre tons plus le neutre distinguent les lexèmes.
