TOP REVIEWS FROM CHINESE FOR BEGINNERS
Very solid content, with distinct sections and themes. No writing makes it into a good introductory course but also is something more serious learners need to study on their own alongside the course.
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.
