I enjoyed this course very much. There are many ancient Chinese characters which are well-explained.

It is very interesting to learn the history of each character.

With no actual experience in Chinese, I was able to complete this course usually getting 90s or above. I recommend this course to learn the pen stroke order.

A pesar de ser caracteres básicos, se aprende más vocabulario y le da sentido a las palabras, debido a la historia del mismo caracter.
