  If you want to learn Chinese in less time while also enjoying yourself, then pay attention... 
  What is the best way to learn Chinese? We should remember how we learned our own language when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult.  
  Think of what a child does; he or she listens to what people say and tries to copy the words. When he or she wants something, they have to ask for it. They are using the language, speaking it, and thinking in it all the time. Thus, if a second language is also used as frequently, it will be learned very quickly. 
  The main purpose of this audiobook is to provide you with a platform to improve your reading skills and your ability to use Chinese comprehensively so that you can easily read and learn. 
  In Chinese Short Stories: 11 Simple Stories for Beginners Who Want to Learn Mandarin Chinese in Less Time While Also Having Fun, you will encounter rich and new but not too complex vocabulary, which is translated at the end of the chapter, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the reading rhythm to look up every word in the dictionary. Every paragraph is translated, as well as the summary of the story, thus providing a clearer comprehension of each sentence, while trying to prevent the temptation that the reader might have, if discouraged, of giving up and reading the whole story in English. 
  So if you want to learn Chinese while having fun, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

  When it comes to pastimes in Palm Springs, dining out is #1. But with more than six hundred eating establishments dotting the area from Desert Hot Springs to Indio, choosing the perfect lunch spot could pose a major problem. Local food writer Peter Osbaldeston aids hungry vacationers with his second edition of this inclusive guide, profiling the ultimate in Palm Springs cuisine. Only the high and low points are addressed, whether it is the chef’s credentials, the building’s history, or the ingredients in the main dish.  Imagine waiting in line for hours only to discover that the building is less than pristine, the hollandaise sauce has the consistency of diesel fuel, and the background music is loud and irritating. Osbaldeston comes to the rescue with vivid descriptions that capture the essence and atmosphere as only a local can. He brings to life the “subtle flavors of the lobster marry[ing] at once with the sparkling pea bisque” at Azur in La Quinta, or “one of the most potent assaults of wild-mushroom aromas” at Johannes in Palm Springs. Knowing exactly what to expect, every tourist can dine like a native in the luxurious Coachella Valley.

  Three titles in one! 
  Audiobook one: With the benefits of aquaponics, combining aquaculture and hydroponics, anyone interested in this topic should start with an informational guide. This is a great audiobook for hobbyists, beginners, and those who want to go pro. Would you rather spend a hundred dollars on a video course or just learn everything from an audiobook for a few bucks?  
  This audiobook gives you all the information and basics you need. Because of this excellent guide, you can save time, money, and frustrations by starting out the right way also and know what you are doing. Various decisions have to be made. Things have to be compared. The systems have to be built. All of these things will be easier with some key pieces of information for a great start.   
  Audiobook two: If you’re looking for new ideas and tips (not visual plans) on chicken coops, then this audiobook might be for you. You will be able to make better decisions by figuring out which coop design is right for you, whether you should start a chicken coop (things you may have overlooked), and much more. This is a fantastic little guide for new chicken farmers. It gives several different insights on coops and raising chickens, and in that way, it’s kind of a twofold guide. For detailed plans and measurements, listeners should look elsewhere, but for the newbie who is still deciding, considering, or wondering where to start, this is the best way to go.   
  Audiobook three: In case you’ve been living under a rock (a square one), you may have heard of square-foot gardening. It allows for a small space to grow plants and create a mini-ecosystem, if you will, that optimizes space and resources. In this brief introduction, you will learn all the basics you need to get started, and you may even be convinced by the end of the audiobook that this is the best way to garden. You will be amazed at the things you can do with limited resources.
