Site where you can read and generate graded Chinese stories, in order to learn Chinese. What's a graded story? It's one written with the vocab of a {X} year old. Words are often repeated, so that you can learn from the left-and-right context. I normally pay for book versions of these, so I thought, why not make one that's online and free?
