Very good videos and explanations. The tests are also good, not to be taken lightly because they help to see that you have identified and learnt the different pronunciation there might be.

Everyone who has never had any contact with Chinese should take this course. Thank you very much from Lima, Peru 🇵🇪

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.

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.

Aprendí bastante en este curso, al menos no necesario para mantener una conversación medianamente decente y poder defenderme cuando viaje a China, excelente curso, muchísimas gracias.

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.

Très bon cours pour une première approche, didactique et centrée sur des phrases et du vocabulaire de la vie quotidienne ce qui permet de s’entraîner rapidement en situation réelles !

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.
