It was easy to learn several chinese characters. But some grammar was demanded in the exercises, although it was not taught during the course.

Very interesting. It's also quite helpful in making you learn characters. You need some previous knowledge of Chinese, though.

the course itself is very excellent. All the quiz are very helpful. Only one thing, the sound is not loud enough for me.

With so little instruction about the words it was difficult to understand the choice of words in a sentence and their use. My translations of some of the sentences in the quiz at the end of each session was sometimes a matter of guesswork, inspired or not, it was without insight. Will that come later?

I did feel that my written Chinese has improved through looking at the way the characters were formed within the grid. Of that I have no complaint. All in all I felt that the course stretched me and I have benefitted from it.

there was quite a lot of typos. also in some exercises in tests there was no right answers at all according to the results i got after rewriting tests for 3 times.

Good basics, but lacking explanation especially in the practice tests, because sometimes complex sentences are shown, which were never taught.

The pictures were often unclear which made it difficult to know what the correct answer was. Other than that I enjoyed the course

I wish there were lessons on grammar and the nuance between words with similar meanings, because we're certainly tested on that!

starts out well, but a few weeks in we need more than drawing animations and the odd bit of historical info. I understand that the course is about the characters, and not about learning the language. Nonetheless, some of the quiz questions are asking us to place the correct characters in sentences. By week 4, this had become very difficult, even though I have previously completed some Chinese language courses. We just aren't given the information needed for those problems.

Also, it appears that the course is not monitored by any teachers or assistants. Quiz 15 is corrupted - all the text is missing. I flagged this in the forum a month ago and there has been no response and no fix.
