Good course. There's a lot of vocabulary and grammar. It was helpful for me. I've been studying Chinese in China for 3 years and I still found some useful things from this course.

I feel like some of the dialogues were a bit off-topic or unusual/unnatural. Other than that, very good course and highly recommend as something to do during quarantine if you're still in it (like me)

It will be more effective and engaging if you add speaking exercises as well. I hope you will work on it. Thank You teacher and Coursera for this brilliant opportunity.

This course was intense, but very helpful! There is so much great material to prepare the HSK test and it introduced a lot of fun vocabulary beyond the HSK 1 word list.

Really impressed with the curriculum in this course. By the end, I could both speak coherent sentences in Mandarin and read some parts of articles written in Mandarin.

It was my first experience here in Coursera and Chinese for HSK1 is also the first program I tried out. I'm so thankful for this structural and comprehensive course.

Overall, the content was great. However, I found the videos for writing Chinese characters were too fast. Perhaps, the videos could be improved by writing it slowly.
