With the Du Chinese group buy plan from JoinBareng, you get a 1-month graded Mandarin reading access by paying per slot. The access type is a shared credential, meaning you receive a login for a shared account used by up to 3 people per group. The price per slot is shown automatically on the plan card, so there is no need to bargain or wait for promotions.
There are a few important rules to know before joining. Do not change the password, email, or account details, because that will lock other members out of the group. Do not log out other devices forcibly, because shared access only works if all users stay signed in normally. Just log in on your own device, keep the credentials safe, and enjoy all Du Chinese content during the active period.
The plan currently available is the 1-user or private plan, so you get your own slot without waiting for a group to fill. The multi-slot group plan is opening soon, and once available you can join at a much lower cost per person. Check the Du Chinese product page regularly for updates on when the group plan opens.
