Chinese for HSK 1
Learn Chinese: HSK Test Preparation,
Nǐ hǎo! 你好！Welcome to Chinese for HSK Level 1 - a Chinese course for beginners. My name is YU Bin. I am very happy to meet you here! HSK stands for Hànyǔ (Chinese) Shuǐpíng (level) Kǎoshì (test), which is the most important Chinese proficiency test in use today. It assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using Chinese in their daily, academic and professional lives. Chinese for HSK Level 1 is the first part of the 6 levels and assesses test takers’ abilities in the application of everyday Chinese. It is the counterpart of Level 1 of the Chinese Language Proficiency Scales for Speakers of Other Languages and the A1 Level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. You will learn: 30 video lectures with dialogue role plays by PKU students; More than 150 commonly used words; Around 50 key grammar points; New words and texts via audio; Quizzes for each lesson and HSK test papers; Videos for 70 basic Chinese characters (optional); Supplementary materials about China (optional). In short, the course covers the four skills although only listening and reading are tested in HSK. At the end of the course, you will be able to understand and use simple Chinese phrases, meet basic needs for communication and possess the ability to further your Chinese language studies. Have a fantastic journey of Chinese learning. For more information about HSK please visit: http://english.hanban.org/node_7581.htm.

Very good pace and progressive in the learning, thank you!Really good videos, people talk slowly, which helps a lot, vocabulary builds up progressively too.I would recommend a bit more use friendliness at the last test (need to jump back and forth between the audio instructions/dialogue and the questions)ET My spoken and written Mandarin have improved compared to when I was learning exclusively with mobile phone app.
The lessons are taught in a dynamic and interesting way.Very good for HSK1 preparation.

listening and reading
The quizzes/tests are all listening and reading.
As an absolute beginner in Mandarin, this course significantly helps honing my listening and reading skill.
Video lectures are 5-10min each, which I think is the perfect length!The course is well-structured, and materials are a mix of listening and reading, with a variety of good-sized everyday life dialogues.
Short lectures, lots of practice with listening and reading as well as with character recognition.

Well structured and adaptable to suit different needs, levels and availability.
The course is well structured so that it is always interesting to follow, you grab most of the 150 HSK 1 words in a way that does not feel awkward (Peking University did a great job grouping them) and the basic grammar without actually studying it (i.e.

final test
For the first level of HSK they teach you all you have to know and some exercises and the final test are a "copy" of an HSK test, so you can train yourself every week and at the end.
The professor and the staff are excellent, and the material is not less than first-rate.I learned more in this 6-week course (7, but the last week is just the final test) than in 3 months attending to (Chinese) classroom class.
I'm happy to give the course 5 stars.Minor suggestions would be to make the final test more readable (too much scrolling involved between questions).
The final test is a bit cumbersome because of the layout, and some of the recordings are excessively loud compared to the others, requiring one to adjust the sound, but the content and delivery are very professional.
