New Practical Chinese Reader edition

jormaga   November 19th, 2012 7:37a.m.

Hi all!

I'm new to this service, as well as new to study chinese. After reading some reviews I've decided to buy and follow NPCR.

I'd like to know if the 2nd edition is also supported by skritter (as I read in some posts the list concerning NPCR is the 1st edition). Are there the same words?

I'd like to get the 2nd edition because it also includes the mp3 audio, and to get a more updated version.

Thanks in advance

No, Skritters version is older:

ISBN-10: 7561910401
ISBN-13: 978-7561910405
Released: June 2004


The new 2nd edition is this one:
ISBN-10: 7561926235
ISBN-13: 978-7561926239
released: January 2010
This is more updated and aligned with the new HSK lists.

I study the npcr both at university and on skritter and I have to say the words match up fairly similarly with the hsk words. The only thing I would say is the npcr books do contain a fair few words I would not consider as being a priority to learn. I learn them to pass my exams but otherwise I find the hsk words more useful.

If anyone knows of an updated wordlist for the 2nd edition of NPCR, we'd love have that list on Skritter.
