Very good course! Some of the exercises are a bit hard, but all in all I'm just grateful that it's free and that it teaches well!

Não tem uma didática clara. Tem muitas palavras por aula. Não tem apoio dos professores. No entanto, com cerca de 42 horas de estudo, entre o próprio curso e meus estudos por fora, estou com uma boa noção do conteúdo proposto. Aconselho que os alunos que estão fazendo o curso sempre complementem com práticas próprias e procurem algum fórum para compartilhar suas ideias para um melhor aproveitamento.

NOT for a beginner who does not know any Chinese.. I am a beginner level, and have studied for a month on my own. I know at least 30 of the characters, basic sentences. These quizzes are not beginner. Also the textbook link is to a Chinese webstores dangdang and Amazon.cn, so not English stores! I don't know enough Chinese to order the Chinese beginner textbook...?

This course is no where near the usually high "Coursera standard ". The videos are very basic, and just sum up some characters. The quizes contain a lot of unclear questions, and often if you choose the correct answer, it will still tell you its wrong.

I thought it would maybe get better, but after two weeks I'm done with this. It's a waste of time.

I couldn't do the course since the textbook is available through Amazon China or Mainland China Webstores only. Teaching Chinese to beginners it would be good to consider that these might not live in China when designing the course. I give two stars as the course itself looked promising to me.

cant recommend for beginners. too hard to remember and sructure all the characters, system of the course is complicated (actually it is based just on memorizing characters). i am still looking for the best alternative.

Buenas noches, este curso me está decepcionando ya que no entiendo cómo funciona la metodología es confusa, no sabía que iba a tener que comprar un libro, hay videos que no funcionan. Quisiera que me devuelvan el dinero. Muchas gracias

Not appropriate for beginners. The stroke names on each new character is boring and unnecessary. The introduction of 2 and 3 word vocabulary is inappropriate as that is in the conversational courses.

It is very difficult to learn characters out of context. On the one hand, calligraphy is extremely nice and fun, but memorizing characters apart from sentences does not make sense.

Horrible course. The quizzes are so hard and I can't even see the answers that I got right and wrong. Ridiculous!!!. I feel like unenrolling.
