I've got sick of New Practical Chinese reader. They even seem to have a sixth volume so they no doubt take the reader up to a very high level.
But in the meantime I've become too discouraged at having so much trouble with spoken Mandarin that I've decided to concentrate on real texts with real audio.
For this reason I'm now using mainly 慢速中文, a free blog that comes with transcription and audio.
I'm also using popupchinese.com. They have superb dialogues with great voice actors. This also comes with transcriptions and on top of it all the dialogues are invariably funny.
With both of these I've decided to extract all new vocab and learn it. It's quite possible that the trouble I'm having with spoken Mandarin is because my vocabulary simply isn't big enough.
