Nice listening for practicing comprehension

Interesting story with a decent pace. Vocabulary is perfect for reading comprehension. The narrator is a bit slow and unnatural, but clear.

Very helpful

I'm really enjoying the mandarin companion series. It really improves your listening comprehension in a fun way. The reading voice is clear and adds a little bit od character to the story.
