A very good course for beginners to learn Chinese characters. The teacher explained the origins of many characters, and group the characters/ words derived from them in each lession, making it easier to remember. I look forward to the following courses.

我很喜欢了啊!Great for learning lots of new characters if you're at a beginner level and it helps you understand where the characters come from and how some of the more complicated ones are made from the base characters. I enjoyed the course, would recommend!

I learned a lot, I would have liked to know more about Chinese culture, but in general, the course helped me to understand the origins of the characters and how they are supposed to be written, so now I will continue practicing every day.

谢谢,老师

I enjoyed this course. There are some problems with some videos because there are some cut parts in the text. I have a doubt, about If some characters do not need accentuation when they appear in a sentence with two or more characters?

Excellent course! I learned a lot and enjoyed learning Chinese characters every week.Sometimes the presentations have some details, such as images that go by very fast or some character is skipped, but they are occasional errors

Aprendí muchas palabras nuevas y reforcé las que sabía. Es el mejor curso que he he tomado sobre caracteres y está muy enfocado a lo que vienes. Me hice un mini diccionario que de seguro me ayudará a expresarme mejor en chino.

Thank you for this great course! What I found out about myself: I am good at Chinese vocabulary (words only with one or two characters) but not (yet) in reading long Chinese sentences. Will definitely learn more!

An excellent, concise and effective course for learning Chinese writing for beginners. No time wasted in idle chit chat, and very clear direction for understanding the writing of Chinese characters and words. G

algunas explicaciones y traducciones no son claras, con el paso de las semanas y lecciones toman sentido. En general es bueno para aprender los trazos básicos y orden de escribirlos, util en los examenes HKS.

It is great for learning! The book is not necessary, but it does add some practice and visual aid outside the course. I would just add that including grammar rules to form basic sentences would make it perfect.

The course has given me basic building blocks for understanding Chinese characters. Personally, It has made the challenge of learning the characters less daunting and less intimidating. Thank you very much.

Excellent introduction to writing and reading Chinese Characters. This course doesn't help with pronunciation very much, but is a great way to explore, introduce, and practice the Chinese writing system.

This is an excellent introduction to writing Chinese characters. The quizzes are challenging and interesting. It is also a great review for non-beginners who would like to be reminded of the basics.

Excellent course for beginners, they teach you how to draw each character from the start, how it is pronounced and what is its meaning, I'm just in the first weak and I have learned a lot.

Great course so far. Still waiting for the book that I ordered, but right now just trying to remember the names of the different strokes, the other vocabulary is not so hard for me.

Good course, more characters and longer would be good too. The sound level is very low, you will need to turn up the volume - then jump when some other app on pc makes a noise!

I enjoyed this writing-reading course very much. I found some of the quiz sentences

a little too complex or advanced for me to translate but a good challenge nonetheless.
