Interesting lessons! Quizzes could be improved with sentence translations.

Chinese characters could be shown with pinyin in order to be able to recognize them.

I think it's a big mistake to provide the characters for everything at the very end of the couse. Either give them from the start or don't give them at all.

The course was great. It helped me a lot in framing a proper accent and knowing basics in Chinese language. Now I can follow dialogue and easily read out.

Thank you very much for interseting course! Now I know a little basic of Chinese language. It is the first time I had learnt this language. Thanks again.

It is the good course for Chinese beginners. I really appreciate the mentor for this course and Coursera for building the huge education online platform.

This course was very nice and easy to do. I'm very glad to choose to do this and hope that I can visit China soon and have the chance to use it ! Xiexie!

teaching method is good not so long and easy to understand.

which i learn is that these word might be helpful in my future when i will traveled to china.

I was learn how to speak basic mandarin. It is very helpful and I am highly recommend this course for those who want to learn basic mandarin speaking.

Very nice introduction to the Chinese language. we miss the direct practice - meaning, speaking with somebody to ensure we go the language properly.

Good for beginners and basic english teaching easy to understand for foreigners

Not recommend for people who want to know a lot of details in Chinese

Some of the pictures in the quizzes were difficult to decipher in terms of choosing an answer. I learned some new things which helped my Chinese.

The class is very informative. It is a great supplement to the other courses I take! I would like print offs if clues and hints. Still very good!

la profesora explica bastante bien, sin embargo, deja ciertas lagunas, aprendí chino, pero es un curso muy rápido, debería tener mas información

Great Course! I thought Chinese was way too difficult to learn but, they made it so easy for us to learn it. Had so much fun while learning it.

Great beginner class. I wish there were more lessons where it forced you into a conversation so you could practice with hypothetical questions.

A very relevant curriculum though was confused with the comments and not knowing if I needed to write in pinyin as an exercise or just recite?

For the beginner learner, this course is very easy to learn and the pronunciation is very clear to hear. And this is very interesting course.

Great introductory course for anyone who wishes to study Chinese! I really enjoyed it and got motivated to study more Chinese in the future!

Very easy to understand and without characters it becomes interesting to start of basic dialogues. Practice test also makes it fun to learn.

This class is awesome! I wish that there were some written notes or something to help but the videos are awesome to help with pronunciation.

7th week final review have some wrong pinyin correlating to Chinese characters. Otherwise is good. he professor pronunciation is very good!

Good course. I think using pinyin along with the Chinese-character to represent the pinyin would be nice to get familiar with the language.

This course is simple but good. I guess taken seriously it could be a nicefirst step in the chinese language. The quizz re too easy though.

the lesson was good, though it will be even better if during each lesson, simplified Chinese also written on the slides (not only pingyin)

The course is alright but a little more explanation may be more useful. The instructor was good. But the notes need to be a bit elaborate.
