Read and listen to current Chinese news: today's articles in simple language for beginners through C2, with one-click translation. Free.
Right here: Jaaluu pulls news from real Chinese-language sources several times a day and presents it like a modern language newspaper – world, politics, business, sports, technology, science, health, and entertainment. So you read today what's happening today, in Chinese instead of in English translation.
Yes. Every story comes in three levels: A1–A2 for beginners, B1–B2 for intermediate learners, and C1–C2 for advanced learners. For beginners, the same article is rewritten with short sentences and core vocabulary – so you can read real Chinese news after just a few weeks.
Instead of just shortening the original text, Jaaluu's AI rewrites it in simple language: short main clauses, simple tenses, common words. Chinese doesn't conjugate verbs or decline nouns, but it uses characters instead of an alphabet, plus four tones that change a word's meaning entirely – the simplified texts lean on frequent, recurring characters to make that manageable. Every article also gets a two- to three-sentence summary at the top. So you can read Chinese news easily and without a dictionary, whether you're just starting out or short on time.
Yes. Every word is clickable and instantly shows the English translation with part of speech, example sentences, and synonyms. Whole sentences can be translated with a single click – so you never have to leave the article or open a dictionary.
Yes. Every article has an audio player that reads the headline, summary, and text aloud in a natural Chinese voice. Since Chinese's four tones can completely change a word's meaning, hearing them spoken is enormously helpful. Listening to Chinese news while reading along trains listening comprehension and pronunciation on the same text.
At C1–C2 you get the full-length articles in unaltered news style, plus a link to the original source. If you want more, read Chinese Wikipedia articles or entire books – every word stays clickable.
Yes. Under "My Own Texts," you can paste in any Chinese article and read it interactively right away: translate word by word, translate whole sentences, have it read aloud, and save unknown vocabulary as a favorite.
Nothing. Reading, listening, translating, the AI language tutor, and the vocabulary trainer are all free on Jaaluu – for every level from A1 to C2.
