TOP REVIEWS FROM LEARN MANDARIN CHINESE: CAPSTONE PROJECT

by KVMar 4, 2021

Really enjoyed this course. Took me out of my comfort zone, but feel more confident in speaking Chinese.

by JPFeb 27, 2021

It was really good to have a summary of what you have learned from lesson 1 2 3 then this lesson was a review. It's really good!

by BWJul 8, 2017

My only 'complaint' is that this seemed to just be a repeat of info we learned before, save for the access to the HSK - still awesome, still helpful.

by GEMar 14, 2020

Loved it. It had everything that I thought it will. Thank you!!!
