I was astonished how well this course works on-line! I was not expecting so much. The course is very well structured and you REALLY LEARN. If I could add some things, these would be: 1) writing the answers in pinyin should be made a bit less strict, avoiding the need for accents specially, and 2) would be great some way to check "our pronunciation" and the tasks (homework) that we submit. Apart from the automatic correction of tests made easy because of options, when free writing it needs to send some feed back. But again, GREAT Job to Mrs Liu, our tutor from the University of Peking. What a pleasure!

In my opinion, the quizzes for the first until third week is more challenging than the quizzes from fourth to final (sixth) week, so I think the first three weeks quizzes is more helpful than the last three weeks. I also have learned a lot of new vocabularies, I hope I will get to use them someday in practice. Overall, this course is recommended to get starting to learn Chinese language, will be better if there is another Chinese language course from this university using the Hanzi instead of PInyin.

The course is really nice. I could learn basics of the Chinese language and can now understand and describe my ideas about several things.

For the teacher, words are lacking to describe my gratitude for her. She has really excellent teaching experience apart from being kind and friendly.

For those who aim to learn Chinese language, this is the most indicated course. Moreover, is was very well designed and the material very well organised.

This course is very well structured and doable. Each week is divided into 4 bite sized lessons and build upon each other. The Chinese voices are very clear and easy to listen to. The video lessons are well constructed and a great teaching tool. The main instructor is very watchable and clearly explains the language points in each video. As someone who has done a number of beginner Chinese courses this was easily one of the best!

Respected Laoshi, First of all i am very thank ful to you and the whole Coursera team who is doing great job. I find this course a very helpful . The things i learned in this course is greetings with someone and the basic daily life communication. I suggest this course should be taken by all beginners. Looking forward for more courses like this.

Thank you once again. ( Wo hen kai xin xuexi hanyu gen nin)

Un curso bien didáctico y explicativo para aprender aspectos básicos del lenguaje Chino, asi como sus expresiones, y usos en distintos tipos de situaciones, y acompañado de aspectos culturales que hacen muy interesante el aprendizaje y conocimento del idioma. Ideal para los que tomaron el curso Chinese for Beginners 1. y desean profundizar un poco mas, dentro del nivel principiante.

This is an excellent introduction to Chinese language and grammar. I think it could have some introduction to written Chinese because Pinyin is not so common. I struggled with some of the quizzes where written answers were given, even when my answers were correct some quizzes required stops (.) others didn't. Apart from that it was excellent.

In this amazing course, I have learned not only the Chinese language, but also the Chinese culture, thanks to the enriching material like songs and lyrics, short stories, dialogues, etc. Special thanks to Xiaoyu Liu, associate Professor at Peking Universty, who made this course really interesting and fun to learn!

The teacher is so energy and teach so awesome. She's also gorgeous, as you know. The content and videos are so good, high quality. I think all of you spend a lot of time to make these useful videos. Thank in advance! I hope you will have more and more perfect Chinese classes in the future.

Me gustó este curso. He aprendido bastante. Ahora voy a repasar lo estudiado para fijar las ideas. Luego seguiré con otro de sus cursos de Chino,que sea un poco más avanzado. Lamentablemente no pude ver las clases virtuales por falta de equipos,pero,por lo demás todo bien. Muchas gracias.

Amazing course. With some quiz's there are only problems to submit since all answers are marked as incorrect while it is actually correct. There is no way to fix this which causes either the course cannot be finished or the student is giving up because there are no assistance whatsoever.

Amazing course with a brilliant instructor and practical content. There is a wide range of conversational topics that are highly applicable to everyday situations. You should definitely learn this after "Chinese for Beginners". Thank you very much for a helpful course!

I like this course so much, I think it is very interesting and beneficial for students who are finding the institute for learning Chinese. Among this situation, it helps students a lot. If I have a chance, I will enroll in the next course certainly. Thank you so much.

I learned so many things from this course, I really appreciate lao shi who created this course for Chinese learners like us to have an opportunity to study more about Chinese and Chinese culture. I really love a song called Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin. Xie xie nin.

This course was amazing, I learned a lot about the culture and the language. So I hope a day having the opportunity to go to China, meanly in Beijing and I''ll enjoy learn more and to have the pleasure in having a conversation with Professor Xiaoyu Liu.

Would be even better if hanzi is included through conversations and lessons. It helps more to remember the meaning of words. Also the quizzes should be longer and more difficult to practice more the vocab and grammar. Overall, great course! very useful.

I love how there are detailed explanations on the Chinese grammar.

I find it really helpful because even though I've already learnt most of the basics but I'm still struggling with Chinese grammar.

Thank you. I really enjoy learning with this course.

I loved this course, it has basic topics but they can be very helpful in any situation. You learn too much the correct pronunciation of each word and phrase and what I liked the most is that it contains too much interesting information about China.

Thank you so much for your kind. I promise that I will practice and improve myself continually and thank you Coursera staffs, Peking University and also Ms. Xiaoyu Liu. I am really appreciated and I will always remember the Chinese online learning.

Thank you Professor Xiaoyu Liu this is the second course of mandarin I take with you. You have helped me in my journey to mandarin language learning. During the course you will learn a lot, just stay focused and love language learning.

This course is very effective and useful for me. The lessons are simple and easy to understand. I tried HSK level 1 listening and reading tests and got almost full mark for every test. I would like to thank the teacher and the admins.

😊💕 Thank you very much, teacher and Peking University for creating this course. I have learned a lot of vocabulary and grammar. This course makes it easier for learners to understand Chinese and encourages me to learn Chinese. ✌️

I really like the course. It gives insights into the culture, which you can hardly find out on your own. Some grammar and vocabulary have been presented in an easy to comprehend way. I recommend the course to other students.

Curso bem legal, bom continuação pra quem já fez o Chinese for Beginners, ajudou a aprender um pouco mais de gramática, vocabulário, expressões básicas usadas em situações comuns, sempre de um jeito prático e leve.

Thank you Peking University for offering this course in free enrollment. I enjoyed learning Chinese through this course. This course provided bite-sized lecture videos and mini quizzes. It really help me a lot.
