Is there any newspapers/sites which have news/articles suitable for beginners/intermediate?

thx

Newspapers are boring. Play video games instead. Simple language is usually used.

There is popup chinese: http://www.popupchinese.com/tools/newsinchinese

There is also CCTV's News in Special Chinese: http://english.cntv.cn/program/learnchinese/specialchinese/index.shtml


Both of them update regularly. Popup Chinese has article specific hover translations for every word, whereas CCTV has an audio recording of every installment.
Both of them are not beginner's easy, but not too hard. As far as I can tell, Popup Chinese is 'drier' (more strictly headlines so more economy or politics oriented), whereas News in Special Chinese tries to be more varied. The latest installment, for example, featured articles on the Chinese government on scientific research, relations between Cameroon and Afghanistan and a puppy from South Korea that sounds like a cat. ;)

I'd say the Popup Chinese site is definitely not for beginners. As far as I can tell the articles are not dumbed down at all, they are taken straight from real newspapers/news website. The only value Popup Chinese adds is the hover feature, but you can get that on any webpage with free add-ons (e.g. Perapera Chinese in Firefox). Have a look and see how you go, but in general reading newspapers is pretty difficult without a large vocabulary. CCTV Special Chinese might be more appropriate for your level, and they have both audio and written transcripts.

Thanks,
yes Popup Chinese I have to wait at least until summer time I think, didn't understand much there ;)

The other one I might give a try, if I'm lucky maybe someone already have added vocabs here, maybe for the series:

You can visit the web site www.chino-china.com, there you can find news, programs of radio and tv, movies, songs and proverbs. I hope you enjoy it.

Mandarin Daily News (Taiwan; Traditional) is a good kid's newspaper. They have a lot online.

Hope this helps!

Comics also helps a lot for beginner/intermediate. Lot less frustrating as you don't need to understand each of any word
