It includes everything that is to know for a beginner, and includes a vocabulary bank at the end to revise and remember the words and sentences after completing the course.

Me gustó el curso porque fue una buena forma de comenzar a comprender un poco mas el idioma, sí cuesta un poco de trabajo pero con las explicaciones se vuelve mas sencillo.

This course is good - it focuses on hearing pronunciations, which is good and supports my other learning which I am doing mostly from a book (also learning the characters).

Course was well-paced and good. It was a little on the easy side, and it might be helpful to explain some aspects of the grammar that weren’t totally clear during lessons.
