The characters and pronunciation are really clear. The pace is fine. The biggest problem I have is the level of the quiz for each section. It is possible to get every answer right for the identification of words and characters, however, it is impossible to understand the words in context. Unfortunately, every test is completely invalid as in the second or third attempt, it is just necessary to put the alternatives for the vocabulary in sentences as I don't understand the other words. If these sentences were very basic rather than long sentences, it might be possible to understand.

A very good course. A couple of the exercises have very small mistakes (one lacks an image and another doesn't have any correct answer) but it doesn't have any mayor effect in the efficiency of the course.

If the course had fewer quiz and test errors and were missing fewer transcripts it would be much better. It is really useful and I am grateful for the care taken, but the mistakes are disappointing.

The lessons were quite long. However, it was a good course to help with reinforcing memory of characters. I was able to practice what I learned from here on another app.

A good course that keeps everyone busy. But some answers in quiz tests could not be given as there were missing elements. The material seems a bit old.

我喜欢这个课,特别有意思。

The lessons were just vocabulary words with little to no context. While the pictures and word origins were helpful, we only get to understand how to use most of the words in the tests themselves. I think it would be more helpful to have sample sentences where we can see how the words are used. Also, I feel like there are a few words that are very similar in meaning but have different use cases, but this course doesn't show which one is more appropriate to use in certain scenarios. Aside from that, there were a few typos in both the lessons and tests that were still not corrected from months ago (as seen in some comments in the discussion threads), and the tests don't show you the correct answers once you've passed them (which could've been useful for review). Overall, this course has an alright value for HSK 3-4 learners since it has a lot of diverse words that is needed to expand vocabulary.

I found the course very useful. It really helped me to identify different radicals and improve my Chinese vocabulary. The reason it lost two stars is because:

(1) The necessity to complete a quiz before the next video unlocks. I found this really hindered my rate of progress. I prefer to learn a whole week of vocabulary on the first day, then memorize it and do all the quizes/tests at the end of the week. But the lock on videos prevents this.

(2) The tests and quizzes had many clearly incorrect answers. I flagged about 10 questions throughout all the tests where the solution was clearly wrong. I think the course creators should review the tests and fix all the incorrect solutions.

The idea is good, but the mix vocabulary from different levels (HSK 1-HSK 6) with non sense. There are several mistakes in the tests that haven't been corrected for years as I could see in the remarks by other students. Recomendation: simplify it (increasing difficulty gradually) and correct the mistakes. Thanks anyway for the opportunity to audit this course.

The course is nice and helps to extend vocabulary. But there are some issues (wrong answers, missing images) in some quiz that makes impossible to get 100% in some tests.. IThis problems are mentioned in the discussion forum already years ago, so please fix it! it is not serious...

Have a pdf of all the characters taught. It's impossible to remember every one by heart.

有一个pdf的所有字符教。 记住每个人都是不可能的。
