TOP REVIEWS FROM CHINESE FOR BEGINNERS
This course is excellent. It gives thorough introduction into language without going into too much unnecessary details. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to start learning Chinese from scratch.
The material was fun and easy to understand. And I also felt that the level of Chinese was enough to start to speak with natives. The teach was pleasant and engaging. It was a very nice experience.
