start reading an article about the best Chinese tea brand names. 中国最好的茶品牌

http://www.puercn.com/czs/cycs/119767.html

I always was eager to learn more about Chinese teas, so that article sounds quiet interesting to me.

It's not that easy though, there a few new 汉字 I didn't know so far. :) So creating new flashcards is a task for today too. :D

read article on decipherchinese: 果汁不可以乱用

http://app.decipherchinese.com/articles/76DNmxBn5jpqQSADZ/near-death-from-fruit-juice-injection

Thanks for posting the web link - really interesting graded content and much preferable to the usual texts written for foreign learners such as in the New Practical Chinese Reader. You might find the Chinese book series for Chinese students interesting, 语文. Birgit of this challenge gave me the reference. It is interesting to find out if you know as much as a Chinese 5th grader, ha ha.

I read 卧薪尝胆
This took some time, more than I expected. :) But there were a few words I never used so far and also 2 idioms I never came across before. :)

Today while read 美好的前途 I realized that recently It feels much smoother when reading. Maybe I tried too hard to read too difficult texts where I didn't understand a lot of words. This was actually good to expand my vocabulary but on the other hand it hinders me to get a more natural feeling for Chinese.
