Lovely course and really improved my pronunciation a lot. Though intended as an introduction to Mandarin, I missed the Chinese characters, Hanxi, a bit. Really recommended for every Asian language fan out there.

A pesar de la básico que pueda parecer el curso, otorga las herramientas necesarias para comprender el idioma chino, considero que tiene los elementos para introducir al estudiante en la cultura que se estudia.

Finally, I can finish this course now. Although I am due late on some weeks I caught up remaining weeks by the later days. So happy to finish this course and I am looking for a Chinese writing course next time.

Uma ótima opção de iniciar os estudos do idioma chinês. Achei o conteúdo fantástico e que nos permite aprender aos poucos e evoluir tanto no aprendizado de novas palavras quanto na pronúncia. Excelente curso!

It was a really helpful beginning course because the teacher made sure the pronunciation was going to be correct. The pinyin is missing from Week 7 Notes, which makes it difficult to memorize the vocabulary.

Abarca muchos temas de convivencia y conversación, se centra en el modo de pronunciar y no distrae demasiado con la cuestión de la escritura, simplemente busca hacer que reconozcas las palabras. Muy efectivo.

Great Chinese 101 course for beginners. Lessons are easy for beginners (like me) to understand and follow throughout the course. At the end of the course, learners can speak some basic Chinese conversations.

The course was great for beginners and easy to understand. The instructor explained everything slowly and effectively. The course structure was also designed well to cover most of the conversational topics.
