The short answer is no! Textbooks can be a great tool to improve your Chinese, but they are no substitute for having real conversations with native speakers or listening to authentic Chinese language content such as Chinese songs or TV shows. The HSK series textbooks come with an accompanying CD which includes recordings of all the vocabulary lists, dialogues, and texts. Be aware that they are only printed in simplified Chinese. Starting with HSK level 1, these textbooks gradually increase in difficulty, eventually leading to every Mandarin learner’s ultimate prize and the holy grail - HSK level 6 (which is the highest level and the closest you can get to becoming “fluent”). Those textbooks will teach you Chinese step by step. Textbook 1 offers ten new Chinese characters with every lesson, and Textbook 2 adds to ten to thirty new Chinese characters per lesson. Textbook 3 begins to teach you a larger group of new Chinese characters per lesson, while the Textbook 4 will list many Chinese characters with some common points, such as sharing the same radical. Starting from Textbook 5, no more new Chinese characters are contained in each lesson.

According to Mandarin Companion, graded readers are books or passages created specifically for foreign language learners that are written using carefully controlled words and grammar. Gubo ( 古波; gǔbō): Young male student, non-Chinese. The name's transliteration is uncertain, but Cooper or Gilbert has been suggested.

Level 1 includes 300 characters and adds an additional 150 unique characters onto the 150 characters from the Breakthrough level. Each book is approximately 10,000 characters in length and is written using carefully controlled vocabulary and grammar that is a small step up from the Breakthrough level. The Practical Chinese Reader was the first set of dedicated textbooks on basic Chinese for use by foreign students of Chinese sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Education, who commissioned three professors at Beijing Languages Institute (now Beijing Language and Culture University) to write it in the 1970s.

To keep the dialogue the same, the characters are given universal names in translations of the book across all languages. Text materials are in both simplified and traditional Chinese, with pinyin and English translations included as appendix at the end of the book. The HSK series is a great place to start as they are based on the (only) official standardized proficiency tests for Mandarin Chinese in China. Secondly, in Textbook 1, each new Chinese character is written out for you stroke by stroke. This is a very good way to remember those Chinese characters and practice writing Chinese.Mandarin Companion organizes its graded content into three levels: Breakthrough, Level 1, and Level 2. Level 2 books add an additional 150 unique characters to the Level 1 300 core character set. Each book is approximately 15,000 characters in length and offers a manageable increase in grammar and vocabulary used over the Level 1 books. Many learners who are able to read Level 2 readers with adequate speed and comprehension find they perform well on the HSK 4 and the AP Chinese Exam. Textbooks can certainly help by providing a structured curriculum that allows you to progress in a linear manner, but it is also important to diversify your learning plan by looking for other ways to study Chinese, either online or in person .

Readers learn contemporary vocabulary that is actually in use in China today.
