I feel like some of the dialogues were a bit off-topic or unusual/unnatural. Other than that, very good course and highly recommend as something to do during quarantine if you're still in it (like me)

Definitely loved this course and the teacher goes through and explains everything slowly so that it is easier to comprehend. It is great for anyone trying to get into studying Chinese!

I loved the course. I had started learning Chinese a year ago but had stopped studying for a while. This course helped me to get back on track and it helped me to remember many words and grammar structures I had forgotten about. I loved the dialogues, exercises, and quizzes. Thank you very much for this great course. I plan to take the next course and continue learning Chinese.

This course was a great introduction to Chinese, and also provided optimal exercises similar enough to the actual HSK test. The content for each lesson is appropriately divided by categories, making it easier to find what you're looking for when you don't remember something well. Having an HSK mock exam as the final test will also prove very useful when taking the real version.

I tried to study Chinese when I was 10 years old and I gave up since then.
This course have changed my mind!! I gain a lot of basic knowledge that we need to know in this course including how to read pinyin, plenty of vocabularies, grammars and conversations.
Thanks to Ms.YU Bin and teams. I definitely will continue the other courses. It really help me in my career!

It has been an amazing experience for me. I started with the Chinese for Beginners course, and now I completed the HSK 1 Course. I want to thank Peking University for the quality of these courses, my only suggestion would be to improve some of the dialogues because some of them have to much echo and this makes harder the process of understanding the conversation.

I love this course. It covers a lot of new words and grammar and brings me a firm foundation in learning Chinese. The content is really good and easy to follow and the practices provide a lot of ways of blending what one has learned. In my opinion, if there were more videos, dialogues, and reading passages, it would be way more practical.

This course is an enjoyable way to prepare for or review the HSK 1 test materials. Teacher Yu Bin is very pleasant and easy to understand. The video dialogues incorporate real-life grammar and vocabulary. Be sure to use the class resources, which include the texts and translations of dialogues, vocabulary lists, and more. Excellent class.

I learned a lot from this course, the basics of the Chinese language from introduction to directions to asking basic questions. The favorite content is the video materials that can be replayed several times enabling to learn the conversations promptly. I am looking forward to learning Chinese, would love to learn HSK2. Xièxiè nǐ lǎo shì!

I love it, very well done the teacher explains with examples and inside the videos there are a lot of exercises. The part that I like the most its the listening section, the other Chinese courses don't have that and like the title of the course this is a great step to get to know the HSK test from 1 - 3.2 here with Pekin University

Ha sido un placer . me parece un curso muy bien planteado y organizado. Lo he hecho un poco de prisa y me gustaría poder seguir teniendo acceso a todo el material. Muy recomendable. no me interesan Certificados, sino aprender y conseguir unas nociones básicas, queme ayuden para poder enseñar español a mis alumnos chinos.

I want to congratulate all the people who put a great effort in this course to make it possible for us to learn this amazing language during hard times. I'm pretty sure that I want to keep learning this language for the rest of my life if it is possible. There is nothing more to say just a few words of gratitude.
谢谢,老师.
再见.

I've learnt a lot from Chinese for HSK 1. Thank you Ms Yu Bin and all mentors as you all made learning Chinese a pleasure. This course is clear, easy to understand and well structured. I will continue until HSK 3. Hopefully, preparation course for HSK 4 will be offered in the near future. Sitting for HSK 4 exam is my goal.

Excellent resource for preparing for the HSK 1 exam. I used this course as a refresher as I prepare for the HSK 3 exam, working my way up. I will complete the HSK 2 course here as well before taking the HSK 3 course. I am confident that if I continue to apply my study method that I will pass the exams using these courses.

I just say one thing. If you ever wanted to learn Chinese, and struggling about finding the right path to learn it. This series is the right path. You just need to follow the lectures. No textbooks needed, no boring lectures, the two things you need to learn this language is time and passion. Happy learning Chinese!

Very professional course, easy-to-follow and complete. I was amazed by how fast I progressed. After one and a half month only, I could follow basic conversations, read and write almost 150 words and express basic needs in Chinese. The course’s videos helped to get used to the speed of Chinese native speakers.

A well made Chinese language course, the course materials are really up to date and helpful for everyday conversation furthermore the course content for each week are well planned and easy to follow. The course taught a few aspects in learning writing, reading, listening and including some of Chinese culture.

A superb introduction to Chinese. I had previously been using Rosetta Stone but HSK 1 is much better for the following reasons: 1) listening to actual dialogs 2) grammar explanations provided 3) details of each dialog including translation and 4) learning to write the characters. Very well done program.

Muy didáctico, me gusta la dinámica de las clases, y que siempre compartan algun detalle cultural, me gusta la forma en la que explica la profesora, también se va repasando algunos carácteres a lo largo del curso, lo cual ayuda al aprendizaje. Este curso te enseña de manera simple sin complicaciones.

My spoken and written Mandarin have improved compared to when I was learning exclusively with mobile phone app. I enjoyed the variety of listening and reading exercises in the quizzes. I feel that the study material in this course would help me to be adequately prepared to write the HSK Level 1 test.

Los ejercicios realmente ayudan a entender mejor el idioma y poner atención a cómo se escucha, entonces es un buen entrenamiento para, incluso, responder los listening más complejos. Igual los ejemplos de situaciones cotidianas permiten que el vocabulario aprendido lo practiques con mayor facilidad

Xiexie laoshi. It was a wonderful journey. I like your teaching style and method. Learned a lot about china throughout this course and hope one day I will visit China and I can easily communicate with everyone. Thanks for your support in my learning quest. This is the best course on Chinese online.

Excellent content. Wonderful teacher. Terrific music. Helpful writing guides.
---> However, I would appreciate a glossary/summary at the end of each week. I believe it would be so helpful to have a document to summarize the new vocabulary, the sentence structures, cultural insights, and so on.

This is an amazing course! I learned the basics of Chinese that I can use to interact with Chinese people and also use for business purposes. It was very helpful and easy to grasp the concepts because the material was broken down well. Highly recommend if you're interested in learning Chinese.

I found this course indeed helped me to understand the words structure, as many examples were in text conversations and video conversation. The lecturer also provided useful sentence structure. This course helps me on my journey in learning Chinese. My aim by end 2023 I can reach HSK-3 level.

I have taken HSK 1 courses in classroom setting back in high school and college. I took HSK 1 again online as a refresher course. I can honestly say that this course has been very helpful. It provided sufficient materials for the lessons and the program was easy to follow. Thank you so much!
