Read Bean
Graded readings from real content, personalized to your level, with saved vocabulary, look
Read Bean is an iOS app for learning Chinese through graded readings drawn from real news and authentic content. Native speakers curate each piece, and AI refines it to match the learner's level, covering HSK 1 through 6. The app addresses the need for reading practice that stays aligned with a learner's current ability while building vocabulary in context.
The library contains over 400 readings and is updated daily with new pieces. A Today page presents daily tasks tied to each new reading, alongside vocabulary saving, instant lookup, and smart review. Personalized assessment and community access are included, with content spanning historical and modern China.
Read Bean is packaged with a free 7-day trial offering full library access, a daily recommended reading, personalized assessment, and community access. Paid options include annual and monthly plans with the same feature set.
