Overall I enjoyed this course. A few points if you are thinking of studying for HSK 5 or have just finished HSK 4.

1) You will need to know all of the HSK 5 and some HSK 6 vocab in advance, before you start the course. This course does not focus on introducing new vocab, instead, you are expected to know it. If you don't know the vocab, don't bother, it's going to be far too difficult.

2) The most useful sections are on listening and reading. Grammar and sentence structure sections are incredibly boring and useless and full of mumbo jumbo liguistics jargon. If you are already around HSK 5 level, you should already know the grammar basics so can safetly skip these sections.

3) It's free. Therefore 4/5.

Overall it's a great course to take if you are on your way to the HSK 5 exam. Loads of great lessons and learning materials.

However, I think that some small tweaks would make the learning experience even better. For example, short vocabulary reviews as separate readings at each lesson's end could really boost the motivational aspect and actual acquisition of words.

не могу сказать что мне пиздец как помогло в подготовке, но занимательно, я прошла все 14 недель. на меня это не похоже

Quite difficult. At times it is quite demoralizing. Being able to pass most of the tests without having the proper vocabulary knowledge is not a good thing.

Thanks for the course.

Very helpful, close to real situation. Excellent team of professors.

Great course, to-the-point and with very useful examples.

I recommend to study the HSK5 vocabulary beforehand for a better experience. The class is better-targeted for people who already studied HSK5 and want to practice the test before taking it.

this course is very useful for those who studying Chinese language and planning to take HSK level 5.this t is the best preparatory course for HSK level 5 that I have ever take.really this course helped me a lot to understand the structure of the exam and the nature and background of the questions,specially the reading part which is consider the difficult part of the exam.

It was extremely helpful except for the questions of writing sections by Mrs Jin. I was very happy with the quality of free courses and gained more confidence to tackle the official exam in September. It would be perfect if the answers can be viewed somewhere for those exercises. I had to ask my friends to correct me when I got answers wrong. But Amazing lesson! Thank you!

This course helped me to understand the content of the HSK 5 exam. I have recommended this course to many of my friends and my followers on Instagram (who also like my study Chinese)! Thanks to all Professors! Thanks to you, my knowledge about Chinese became bigger and I feel more passionate about language, as well as Chinese culture.

This is a wonderful course! After passing it I feel much progress, especially in reading and listening comprehension. There are useful tips how to pass the HSK5 exam when you meet unknown words, or there is not enough time left to write a composition or to thoroughly read a text. I am also very thankful for grammar lessons.

El curso es súper bueno: contiene explicaciones gramaticales, todas las lecciones tienen una pequeña prueba sobre lo aprendido y te muestra qué es lo que has fallado; esto te permite tener una mejor reelección sobre lo aprendido. Además, brinda muchos consejos y estrategias para aprobar el examen.

Awesome content, easy to follow. I've been a passionate frequenter of Peking University's online courses for more than one year. Helped me a lot in Chinese learning and HSK preparation. I'd suggest them to everyone interested in Chinese.

Nice course to prepare the HSK 5. You will learn a lot of vocabulary, tools to deal with the main difficulties of HSK 5 exam, and will definitely take your chinese skills to the next level. Very recommended!

I would like to thank Coursera in general and the teachers in particular, the course has helped me a lot in my self-study for the hsk5 exam. The lessons are extremely high quality and free. Thanks a lot!
