The structure to learn very interesting, but difficult. Because even though one see the same that persons are doing. A person can think in different words and therefore miss the proper translation for what is happening.

The course is well structured but it is missing to put the subtitles in English in the dialogues and in the example of each lesson

If you are actually brand new and plan to "start from scratch" you may find this course overwhelming with its a bit too immersive style of teaching. When I took the course each "week" section only gave me a deadline of a couple of days, which is not nearly enough to take any time to learn and practice the material before moving on. I have a Chinese vocabulary of over 300 words and still felt this course was rushed and troublesome. Be prepared to spend a lot of your own time to learn what is taught in the course and possibly reset your deadline dates as you work through it.

Although expect one I passed all assignment in first try I think the last was really hard. Not for beginner level. Videos with silence parts it is a big NO. Should I guess? Overall quite confusing.

This is no beginners' course. I am not a beginner and it's hard for me. I will tell you everything that is wrong with the first part of the first week. I didn't continue because, despite how much the instructor keeps on saying "we learned," there is no learning experience.

This is my opinion as a high beginner Chinese learner and as a foreign language teacher: There is too much vocabulary and too many characters. Learners of Chinese with no knowledge of Chinese characters need a phonetic system such as hanyu pinyin not tens of Chinese Characters.

The instructor introduces characters, but does not clarify the meaning. The students in the videos use words that translate to please, drink, tea, very, etc., which the true learner won't get from the videos on this course.

And the most ridiculous part is, besides the poor audio quality, the lip-reading quizzes! What language skill is lip-reading? NTU is the top university in Taiwan and in the top 100 worldwide, but now I understand why students humorously say that NTU stands for No Teaching University.

The lectures are given in chinese and some parts lack english translation making it impossible to understand without knowing chinese. Maybe this course teaches chinese, but you must already know chinese to learn it.

I disliked the questions, those were not really to test what you learned but to trick you, how can I know what the people in the video of the question are saying when the videos have no sound?

There is no english translation to make the process of understanding the meaning of the characters easier.

not in English hard to follow
