This course is suitable for beginners who want to learn basic vocabulary and sentence structures. It is not an all-encompassing beginners course but it is a good start.

This was a very easy course and not too daunting considering the topic. I liked learning pronounciations of the words and the basic vocabulary. A great starter course.

it is very useful course for Chinese learners who are already Know a little bit about Chinese language and it is very helpful in listening skills and learning pinyin

It was very nice experience! Xiaoyu Liu was a great teacher! I recomend to add chinese transcription after every lesson and it will be best course in the internet :D

The course is great, however I think the chinese character should 've been used along with the pinyin. Just so we could check them out and compare with the pinyin.

I enjoyed the videos, quizzes, and handouts. As I was refreshing myself with the language, I found the instructor to be very knowledgeable and easy to understand.

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.

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
