It's a great course to learn the basics of pronunciation of the Chinese words. It also helps with improving listening skills.

Introduction to basic vocabulary and grammar. I give it 4 stars because it does not discuss any characters, just uses pinyin.

Overall very good, but the quizzes are very easy and often only look at the easiest part of a lesson (weekdays for example)

Для начинающих курс очень неплохой, единственное, что мне не очень понравилось- это отсутствие ознакомления с иероглифами.
