The course is very useful when provide a basic speaking Chinese for beginners. However, i hope that in the fulture the course can also provide somethings about chinese writing.

I think it is a very good course, but for me, it was too dense, which led to me not finishing it. More emphasis should be on repetition and deepening of the acquired knowledge.

during stay at home, I was studying from any source, include Cousera and took this class. I am so happy because i can refresh my mind about chinese language. Thankyou Coursera

This is the great introduction course, but it will be even better explaining the structure of sentences. However, it was amazing course to learn common expressions! Thank You!

Useful to not learn writing in the beginning, useful to see all the words with hanzi at the end. Too few exercises to use the words learned. Nice "exams" with loads of audio!

Excellent course. I would only suggest that the videos be a little bit longer and some more explanations be given on why certain words are inserted into some full sentences.

Very good introductory speaking course. Great instructor. The quizzes should also include some of the sentence construction so students can test their understanding of this.

It's easy to understand and so useful. I met a chinese girl and now we talk together. I hope will be another one in the future to continue learning this beautiful language.

I thought the class was very well done as an introductory class. Although I thought there would be an introduction to characters also. I liked the laoshi and the slides. :)

Good Course , Thank you for FREE learning. I'm so appreciate to spend my free time with chinese language knowledge and easy for beginner everyone can do it!. xièxie lăoshī

very nice course but grades achieved and duration of course is not mentioned on certificates please should write it as well as certificate should free of cost not paid.

It's easy to understand. The sequence of the topic is good. Would be better if the dialogues can covers all the scenarios in the topic of providing directions, and time.

It was interesting and good. It would even be better if there is an opportunity to connect with other participants to practice Chinese via video conferencing. Thank you.

Excellent cours avec de bonnes vidéos, facile à suivre. Les tests étaient un peu trop faciles, mais c'est un excellent début pour ceux qui veulent commencer le mandarin.

This course is suitable for beginners who want to learn basic vocabulary and sentence structures. It is not an all-encompassing beginners course but it is a good start.

This was a very easy course and not too daunting considering the topic. I liked learning pronounciations of the words and the basic vocabulary. A great starter course.

it is very useful course for Chinese learners who are already Know a little bit about Chinese language and it is very helpful in listening skills and learning pinyin

It was very nice experience! Xiaoyu Liu was a great teacher! I recomend to add chinese transcription after every lesson and it will be best course in the internet :D

The course is great, however I think the chinese character should 've been used along with the pinyin. Just so we could check them out and compare with the pinyin.

I enjoyed the videos, quizzes, and handouts. As I was refreshing myself with the language, I found the instructor to be very knowledgeable and easy to understand.

Great course for those who want to learn chinese for basic communication. The course covers a wide range of essential and basic day-to-day conversational topics.

Only teaches pinyin but it's suitable instruction for beginners who just want to learn how to construct some very basic sentences and dialogues. All in Mandarin.

Für den Anfang eignet sich dieser Kurs wirklich gut. In meinem Fall hätte ich mir ein paar mehr grammatikalische Erläuterungen vor allem zum Satzbau gewünscht.

I really enjoy this course. I have enhanced my Chinese skills. Thank you, Mrs. Xiaoyu Liu, Peking University and Coursera for offering me this good opportunity.

good course for traveler but there are a little of grammar part so you can speak a simple sentence but if you want to create some new sentence it's quite hard.
