I am continuing through this course but so far I have loved every minute of it. I haven't gotten very far but already I feel like I have learned so much more of another language, Chinese no less, than I have ever grasped of another language before!

Course content are awesome

By Eustacia Studer on 5/23/2020

I have only gotten in three lessons so it has been mainly introductory. I cannot give an accurate review of the entirety of this course at this point and their is not enough information to feel one way or the other about what I have seen so far. I do like how the course is being described thus far and am excited to see the application of the discussed teaching methods throughout the course.
