Donate to keep CRP free!

Chinese Reading Practice has been online since 2011, and serves tens of thousands of learners per month – but it charges no subscription fees. There’s no paywall, no signup requirement, nothing. This is not a for-profit endeavor, it’s a labor of love. Instead, I depend on voluntary donations from the users that can support this project to keep it online for those who can’t.

If CRP has helped you learn Chinese, or if you just want to see this project thrive, please consider donating, either once, or through monthly support. Your donation goes to server costs, domain registration, AI tokens, and other expenses. Thank you so much!

Why CRP is subscription-free

Subscription-based services create barriers to access for students, particularly in less developed countries. Over the last 15 years, I’ve heard from hundreds of Chinese learners in places like Cambodia, Indonesia, Hungary, Belarus, and Nigeria, where unfavorable currency exchange rates and low local wages make paying even small app fees impossible.

And it’s not just learners in third world countries that can’t afford even cheap signups – underpaid teachers in underfunded schools (including in the US) often have to pay for learning materials out of their own pockets, and they already barely get paid. Teachers all over the world use CRP in their classrooms.
