This course is good for who started to learn the Chinese language and then it can use in daily life or when to travel in Chian. And, the Chinese language also gives the chance to find a job in the future.

Although this is a free course, it is very practical with daily life topics. After we finish it, we can travel to China or Taiwan, Hongkong and can make basic conversation. Thank you very much, Liu Laoshi

Great experience & course! I could say that I learn the necessary vocabulary to introduce myself and to initiate a dialogue. I would like a second part of the course with verbs and a little more grammar.

I found the course very effective.

very ggod teacher.

The only remark is that, showing the writte pronunciation of the words (without any relationship with chinese characters), could mislead participants.

Me encantó el curso. La profesora excelente, los materiales buenos, aunque por alguna razón los audios no jalaban desde mi PC pero si desde la APP del celular. Ahora voy por los demás cursos de chino.

The material was fun and easy to understand. And I also felt that the level of Chinese was enough to start to speak with natives. The teach was pleasant and engaging. It was a very nice experience.
