Learn Basic Chinese - Speak Chinese Mandarin (Level 1)

Thank you. Very easy and simple.

A really good introduction and overview about Chinese language.

It is hard to believe that this course was written seven or more years ago. The production may not possess the lustre of the courses all the time, but believe me you will learn a lot and be able to speak and understand Chinese rather than just know grammar. I am at HSK 4 Level, and I think I should know, as I used many textbooks and enrolled in many courses. But what impresses me so much about Michelle style of teaching? Apart from the fact that she know so well how to teach, she is well aware that the clarity of what is being taught is crucial; that repetition and drumming in of concepts is essential to the acquisition of a language and learning to speak the language; that teaching a second language in the manner we learnt our native language is a condition without which it becomes tedious, if not impossible, to learn to speak a second language. For how many years have so many students learned a lot of grammar without really being able to speak the language fluently? For many years,without success, I have been arguing that we should learn a second language the way we learned our native language, using comprehension, imitiation, repetition, and so on, and that grammar should be teased out or pointed out of what we learn to say. Now Michelle is out to prove me right. I have bought both Level 1 and Level 2 of Michelle's courses. I have nearly finished going through Level 1 and will soon start Level 2. I hope that Michelle has not lost her enthusiasm in teaching in this manner, and that she will produce a Level 3 and more. It will be a big loss for all serious students if she did not. Thank you Michelle.

One of the best Chinese courses on Udemy. Lessons are well designed and delivered. It has been a very enjoyable experience and I have been making really good progress. Thanks, Michelle.
