I self-learned Chinese by watching a lot of shows and listening to music. So, I am pretty fluent in listening and can speak a little. But I could not read or write, so this was the perfect course for me. I enjoyed the material and the pace it was going. I've noticed that I'm beginning to recognize more Chinese characters as I sometimes need to research Chinese companies for work, and I can read them when I am watching tv shows. The only thing I wish it taught was the different sounds because it does get confusing when the words are the same characters but different sounds.

Overall, this course is VERY rigorous and comprehensive! You learn SO MANY words/characters! Not 5 stars because some of the videos drag on a little too long, this class is a little on the difficult side, and sometimes there are questions on a quiz for content that has not been taught yet. I would definitely recommend this course if you are a hard worker, have the time, and have the interest in learning the Chinese language. Also, make sure you take paper notes in order to keep track of all of the characters :)

I enjoyed this course. Would have loved to receive an explanation for why the same characters are used several times with a different pronounciation different meanings; however, this course does not provide that level of detailed information. You simply become familiar with the character and its new meaning. Neither does it give an explanation for "radical". Otherwise it's an intense course that moves at a good pace; even when self-pacing. I'm looking forward to taking Part 2 of this course.

The course has a great pace--videos were clear and concise. There were a few discrepencies in the quizzes, which in a few quetions, none of the answer choices were the correct ones, so I was a bit confused with that. I would definately recommend taking this course in conjunction with another beginner's Mandarin course (one that doesn't focus on Chinese Characters, but on simple conversation instead.)

This is a beginner's course but i think difficult for many people -- i have stayed in Shanghai many times so have basic knowledge of mandarin. To progress one has to study to progress. I am also learning french,german and latin so i do not have a lot of spare time. This course is very good but i would rate it above beginner's level for sure.

A very interesting and useful course. I give it only 4 stars as I was not able to obtain the recommended text book, because the sellers did not deliver to my country in Europe. It is a bit difficult to follow without explanatory materials and I had to use supplemental textbooks and grammars to make sense of the exercises in the quiz tests.
