Very easy to learn the basic Chinese language. The most important and interesting about the course is that everything is illustrated with the help of pictures which makes it very easy to learn.

It might be hard to me for pronounce correctly. And no one guide me. However, it’s not difficult too much because teacher is understanding of a mature student trying to learn Chinese language

Very good videos and explanations. The tests are also good, not to be taken lightly because they help to see that you have identified and learnt the different pronunciation there might be.
