Great course for those who want to learn chinese for basic communication. The course covers a wide range of essential and basic day-to-day conversational topics.

Only teaches pinyin but it's suitable instruction for beginners who just want to learn how to construct some very basic sentences and dialogues. All in Mandarin.

Für den Anfang eignet sich dieser Kurs wirklich gut. In meinem Fall hätte ich mir ein paar mehr grammatikalische Erläuterungen vor allem zum Satzbau gewünscht.

I really enjoy this course. I have enhanced my Chinese skills. Thank you, Mrs. Xiaoyu Liu, Peking University and Coursera for offering me this good opportunity.

good course for traveler but there are a little of grammar part so you can speak a simple sentence but if you want to create some new sentence it's quite hard.

I think any course of Chinese must include characters. To teach only a too basic sentences in pinyin is not a good experience. Nonetheless, I like this course.

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.

That Course is very good, but cannot be finished. I cannot continue the course beause of some error. I tryed to get the right answer. I not possible.

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.

I like it very much although my memory is not so good to remember everything, but I hope that with my notebook I can keep on studying and practicing.

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 for beginner, but for me it's actually like you learn as primary school and too slow progress. It's suite for who don't know any Chinese

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?
