recommendations for upper level (post-HSK 5) textbooks?

[markpete]

Hi, all.  Any recommendations for comprehensive textbooks (i.e. ones that include at least vocabulary, passages for reading, and passages for listening) that would be appropriate after HSK 5 (~2500 words)?  I'm trying to build my vocabulary but finding it a slog to do without much material that reinforces it.  I started going through A Course in Contemporary Chinese-- I like it a lot but I already know 80-90% of the vocabulary (at least in books 3 and 4).  I've used a few different HSK text books and haven't been satisfied with the quality, so I'd prefer to stay away from those.

 

Thanks,

   Mark

I can recommend Boya from HSK5 onwards. You may look at Boya Intermediate II (博雅汉语中级刺篇II) if you feel its a tick to difficult take a look at 刺篇1

Personally I find the 2nd book of the intermediate series more matching a HSK6+ level.

Thanks, yanux!  I'll check that one out.
