This course is very effectively designed to instruct beginners on the basic vocabulary, grammar and oral comprehension of Chinese language in context. I highly enjoyed it.

This course gives you the option to learn the characters or to simply learn the pinyin. The dialogue videos and scripts are very helpful.

I entered this course by mistake. I did not review any lesson material. When I attempted to unroll, Coursera would not respond. I do not want to participate in this class.
