TOP REVIEWS FROM LEARN MANDARIN CHINESE: CAPSTONE PROJECT

by BWJul 8, 2017

My only 'complaint' is that this seemed to just be a repeat of info we learned before, save for the access to the HSK - still awesome, still helpful.

by JPFeb 27, 2021

It was really good to have a summary of what you have learned from lesson 1 2 3 then this lesson was a review. It's really good!

by KVMar 4, 2021
