This was great for someone who has no idea whatsoever when it comes to Chinese. The course doesn't overwhelm and still ends up teaching enough vocabulary that would allow the student to have at least tiny conversations.

Maybe if there was more information about chinese's grammar like how to put the noun , verb or object in order in each sentence, that would be perfect. :D

I love your course.

Excelente el método y la selección de temas de utilidad para el principiante, con ese material es posible una comunicación, aunque básica, en chino. Es un curso muy ameno, la profesora es muy agradable y didáctica.

Excelente curso y excelente instructora, gracias a este curso, he podido perderle el miedo a aprender chino, y lograr hablar a un nivel muy básico; me gusta el no tener que aprender caracteres chinos en éste nivel

this is very nice for someone who moved to China and needs directions, and needs to now how to communicate with shopkeepers. I enjoyed it very much, but I still don't now how to say, " how are you," in Chinese.

I have learned more things from here not only about the language but also little bit of the Chinese culture, etc. I really like Chinese culture. This course is useful for everyone to start Chinese as a language..

I learned a lot through coursera and I'm very happy about it. I wish to go to China one day and use the things that I have learned. The programe is very good and helpful. I wish there were more courses to learn.
