Very good course and well structured. The difference to other fragmented online videos "teaching" Chinese is the thought through build-up and the professional didactic value. Recommended!

This is a great way to start your Chinese language study. I definitely support practice in speaking Chinese since tones are the hardest part of that language, as far as I am concerned.

Es muy bueno, pero por favor permitan que sí ya se pagó el certificado se actualice y permita terminar el mismo o cambiar las fechas límites...solo me faltan las 3 últimas asignaciones

The curriculum is well-designed. It develops the vocabulary first and then instructs learners how to put the words to make a sentence. The instructor is great with clear pronunciation.

Stands up to its name. A very good course to start learning Mandarin. Now, the horror of the language "Mandarin" is no more and I can communicate for the necessary matters in Mandarin.

A very good course for beginners which covers all essential topics in an easy manner. No characters, so there is no pressure to read and write, focus on listening and talking instead.

A basic course . It gives the basics to progress in learning the language. A bit different for a westerner, but interesting and motivating. Anxious to continue and increase the level.

Although my native language is Spanish, this course was really good; since it also helped me to reaffirm my knowledge of the English language and learn the basis of Chinese language.
