Course Overview
Master Chinese Listening and Speaking Skills, Learn Mandarin Chinese in a natural way, Comprehensible input, HSK1-HSK3
Welcome to our Chinese course! We want to help you get better at listening and speaking Chinese quickly, even if you don't know anything about the language yet.
Most people usually start learning a new language by reading or memorizing stuff. But we think it's better to learn like how babies learn – by listening first. When babies hear lots of understandable language, it helps their brains learn the language. Then, they start talking. We're going to do the same thing with you. We'll give you lots of stuff to listen to and understand, and then you'll start speaking. It's like exercising your brain to learn a new language!
Here are the key features of our course:
Emphasis on Listening and Speaking: We prioritize the development of listening and speaking skills, utilizing a plethora of visuals such as pictures and videos to aid comprehension and retention.
Focus on Comprehensible Input: Rather than rote memorization of grammar rules, we provide ample comprehensible listening materials to help you intuitively grasp language patterns.
Speaking Practice: Through repetitive exercises, association with real-life scenarios, and mastering sentence patterns, we'll guide you in confident oral expression.
Our curriculum covers:
Everyday vocabulary and expressions
Common colloquial phrases used by native speakers
Questioning techniques and responses
Natural self-expression in Chinese
Whether you're a complete beginner or seeking to enhance your oral proficiency, our course caters to your needs. Join us as we explore the beauty of the Chinese language together!

I was looking for something with a lot of listening so I could review all the material I have learnt by now, and yes, this is course meets my expectations perfectly. I believe, it could be good for real beginners too, especially these impatient ones who would like to learn speaking from a very first day.

This is the best courseware that you can get, the teacher knows his stuff and use comprehensible method/ways that can make you remember all the material in the easiest way, He also has standard pronounciation which makes good for beginner, just by learning for several videos, i already feel like a pro. xiexie laoshi!!! Will recommend this to my friends also

This is the best way to learn any language. Little steps, a lot of repetition and in no time you notice yourself speaking with correct tones even though you've never really studied them, because you "feel" them. I just wish the pace would be a little faster, but that's not necessarily a bad thing since through a lot of repetition new concepts stick better. There's a lack of comprehensible input materials for Chinese out there and your course made it more accessible. I don't know if you have plans for future courses in this format, but you should definitely think about it. Thanks and take care.

I feel the course can perform better if the tutor himself came in front of the camera while teaching. Another suggestion would be if he would laugh and smile while teaching as this makes student comfortable and when a person watches another person smiling they tend to smile as well.
