There isn't any chance to download documents so that you can repeat if and when you need. There should be more digital exercises and not jut request to exercise with friends because you cannot even check whether you did it right

Doesn't seem like enough material for 7 weeks. Typically finished a week's worth in an afternoon. Could have put more work into the examinations, which didn't really help me reinforce the material most of the time.

I don't like the approach with pinyin without characters. I don't think is useful for chinese students, but it's okay for travelers maybe.

This teacher reminds me of old aunties that tried to tell me how to think. "That's just the way it is" is never a good reason for me.

You do have to have requisites to understand this course. Pronunciation is confusing and lack of guidance in the process.

in that course you will learn the spoked chinese using pinyin , i expected to see any hanzi but i didnt

I think with more listen exercises this course will be better and the length of the videos too short.

I wish the Chinese characters were provided for all the vocabulary and example sentences taught

the classes are sometimes extremely boring and some things are not clearly explained

A submission too complicate to learn chinese-Three submission is too reasonable.

It's not suitable for a person who has some basic Chinese

Chinese characters would help, not recommended

hard to understand for beginners

Very basic, we need sequels

This course for me was sadly frustrating as it did not seem to be tailored for a beginner. If you are tone deaf, you're really going to have problems as this language relies heavily on pitches and sounds. I found myself looking for outside sources like "children's video's" on You Tube and Duolingo to try to understand. I passed this course "Thank you Lawdy". If you sign up, just keep an open mind and stick with it. Breakthrough is sure to come. Maybe this is just the first step to unlock the door.

Although this course gave me a variety of knowledge in Chinese linguistics, the Chinese official map "Nine-dash line" still appeared during the lesson. I disapprove of this. This is a violation of other countries' land and sea. It could be shown in China's mainland, but Coursera is a platform for the whole world (except China due to the Great Wall in Chinese internet).

Just one thing to remember: Education is different from politics; do not mention it during classes.

The level that this class starts out is like teaching a toddler to speak Russian. I have no idea how to pronounce anything Chinese. This class kind of assumes you're familiar with the way the words sound. It's very difficult to begin. I have a language degree. If the language that studied started off like this, I wouldn't have studied it.

This is very basics hence getting a certificate is not valuable. I would consider getting a certificate, if it means something hence beyond a very basic crash course. The certification, should be, I can really use and means something.

My name in the certificate is not correct I just would like to change my name this name is correct Benya Christmas change for me please because I need to apply to the job Thank you so much

I really like this course but it lacks a lot of audio files in every quiz I enrol so I can't finish many quizzes. Please review and fix this error.
