Decent self-paced course for a challenging language. To a fair degree, you choose the level of difficulty yourself. At the base level, it teaches and tests listening skills and one can choose to pursue using the phonetic pinyin form only. You can extend it to reading the ideograms themselves or even to write them. It may be difficult to stay on their schedule if you did so since there are 150 or so characters to be mastered.

Good course for Level 1 HSK. I would have liked to learn more new words.

well, structured course! I strongly recommend this course to new comers.

It was a great course. I learnt a lot from it, even though I'm only a beginner in Chinese.

This course does everything it sets out to do, in a very structure and professional manner. I feel quite ready to sit the HSK 1 exam. I already had a bit of beginning Chinese under my belt, and I think my understanding of Mandarin phonology was an advantage.

Straight forward and easily accessible. I appreciate the dialogs and the short videos on stroke order

This class was just what I needed and whenever I needed it. I will continue with the next level.

A great course for those who never learned Chinese before.

Good basic coures

Хорошо структурированный материал. После каждого урока есть маленький тест, и в конце недели-тоже, но с большим количеством вопросов. Это очень удобно. Также есть учебник со всем материалом.

Единственное, звук слишком тихий, когда говорит преподаватель, а звук заставки просто зашкаливает.

This course made me believe in online courses. Thank you Coursera!!!!

I think this course is very useful as an intro to Chinese Language and is also a very good HSK-Test preparation!

This was a delightful course and very helpful. I felt that all skills were reviewed and we were provided with a lot of invaluable resources.

great course

Great introduction course to Chinese! Loved the examples and fast-pace in having great results.

easy and well-made

I found this course very useful. The way it is set up worked well for me. The only difficulty I had was that the videos and soundtracks were "too heavy" for my internet connection here in China.

very good with a lot of practice embedded into the course

Great learning for a beginner . Teacher is clear and helpful

Excelente

It follows the basic structure of teaching a foreign language, with the expected "My name is ...". The will help candidates memorise the key phrases.

This course is great for gaining a solid foundations of the Chinese language, as it covers the basics of the characters and tones in the first week, from then on each week goes with fresh lecture sessions that increase the vocabulary and grammar lessons. Also, the video lectures at the beginning of each week contribute very much for developing and honing the listening comprehension for daily conversations.
