Great course
The course was great Yoyo’s explanations really helped me understanding the fundamentals of China’s. There are sometimes problems with the video playback so, which is really annoying. Apart from that I am looking forward to finishing all the other courses.
Thanks for your feedback. we will try to make the video better.
Awesome Beginning Course
This is an awesome course for beginners and self learners. I took this course in hopes of helping my understanding of Chinese vocabulary and sentence structures. I also needed more assistance with studying for the HSK 1 exam. After taking this course, I passed the HSK 1 exam with a perfect score on the listening and reading sections. I recommend this course to anyone who is learning Chinese as a beginner, especially a self-learner.
