Studying this abridged Chinese version of Great Expectations is a reminiscent of my school days’ literature list of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities and others like Shakespeare too, indeed learning the Queen’s English!
This MC rendition is a good effort to practice Reading in Mandarin, though as mentioned above, for me it is ”studying” to grasp command of the language! 😅

@CriticalOwl, what is the difference between Rejuvenate and Sync on the latest Skritter Update?
This is because I am exploring the Skritter Resources for Mandarin Companion Sherlock Holmes and Great Expectations Part 1 to add in the Decks.
Sprinting to finish The Monkey’s Paw this Sunday.
I think sync is to forcibly sync your local database with the server, so that any changes from using the website get added in to your local database, whereas rejuvenate just does stuff in your local database, marking previously learned words as learned for the current deck.
PavelNoted, @Pavel but on Sync, no noticeable difference?
KaynisYeah, should be no changes if you only use the mobile app.

Question: Anyone here has experience reading Pleco Dictionary series of books?
Any tips, comments on it?
Chapter 4 TSG.
I bought the whole series; They're mostly from Sinolingua, but you get the added benefit of the easy access to Pleco. They have traditional and simplified that you can switch between, and while a lot of them skew easier (20 0-level books), there's at least a dozen in the upper intermediate level that take some work to get through. I'm enjoying them so far. Is there anything in particular you're looking at/for?

Anthony PernaAre these Pleco books read online or can we access it offline, stored into our handphone memory?
KaynisThey’re downloaded into the dictionary app and open with the built in reader. The audio files are also downloadable from Pleco’s website as mp3s. All can be used offline.
Anthony PernaThank you for your prompt reply. May need to conserve the limited phone memory.
