By the end of this course, you will not only be able to write and understand short dialogue but also have an incredible foundation to build further on. Chinese is very logical and systematically builds on each previous step so every step forward will be easier than the last, and that is also how you'll be able to recognize Chinese upon finishing this course.
Chinese is the most logical language there is and we hope to demonstrate to the world how to successfully navigate it. Through the ancient system of using pictograms, two words with separate meanings can join to form entirely new words. For example, learn the word for electricity (电), then add brain (脑) and you get a computer (electric-brain). Replace the brain with stairs (梯) and you get an elevator (electric-stairs). 话 means speech and 'electric-speech' means telephone. Chinese is a clearly structured, logical language, and it is this logic that makes the learning experience feel like a puzzle that anyone can solve.

Together this group of learners built and developed a unique course that is clearly structured with a ‘building block methodology’, providing insights, explanations, and learning tips to help students to quickly learn and understand Chinese, and easily remember Chinese characters.

felix and ann
It seemed like a difficult task before Felix and Ann (both of whom are very likable) started explaining and breaking down everything as the lessons progressed.
Thanks Felix and Ann!
Felix and Ann are great actors!
The personalities involved (mostly Felix and Ann) make the course very fun and the examples (cute, funny, surprising, silly, serious, embarrassing, spontaneous, endearing, etc) make the subject being learned very memorable.
The videos are engaging and Felix and Ann help make it all very interesting.
I like how Felix and Ann break down the radicals and make sense of each word and concept and put them together in small phrases rather than huge sentences.
Felix and Ann are great teachers!
Much thanks Felix and Ann!

building blocks
Explanation of building blocks is very helpful.
With the real-world examples and exercises alongside as the progress not to mention the fun, has helped me to understand the basic building blocks on the Chinese language Thank you Felix you are a great teacher!
Really great building blocks Good good thank you I never thought I'd be able to text my friends in Chinese :) Audio is sporadic.
谢谢！ The "building blocks" approach works great.
I am starting to recognize characters, their meanings and as Domino Chinese says "the building blocks" to other characters.
Fantastic concept of “building blocks”.

easier to remember
Best part is that Felix uses many real world examples which make Chinese easier to remember.
The building blocks of learning each part of the character makes it much easier to remember the reasoning behind each word instead of memorizing each character one by one.
What's really good is that you will learn all the building blocks that make up characters, which will make it easier to remember them and learn new words in the future.
That makes it much easier to remember than just using a "flash card" kind of method.

teaching style
If you find you like the teaching style you will get a lot of value out of this.
I really like the 'informal' teaching style that is followed in this course!
I recomended,very good Felix is very entertaining, I love his teaching style, he's making the learning experience very enjoyable and the many funny mnemonics make it way more easy to remember the Chinese characters, their pinyin versions and their actual English translations.
The instructors employ a very effective teaching style Simple and fun approach to learning, recommending for opening your mind to different styles of learning.
I don't really understand his teaching style, and I don't understand why I'm learning random words like "knife" and "fish" in the first few lessons.
Perfect teaching style Its easy chinese and very helpful.

rather than
Felix's teaching style really resonates with me - it is unique and fosters growth in learning the language, rather than just learning some phrases in a bubble.
Wo hen kai xin yes its good for me Good, but errors are made when teaching while creating course rather than creating and editing the course before publishing.
Sure, the production values are higher than some nervous sounding chap using powerpoint but at least many of those people are really trying to help you learn rather than this poorly organized mess of a module which seems more like someone making stuff up as they go along .

pick up

Good for those like me who wanted to pick up reading Chinese.
Context in a sentence The guy is funny and is doing this witha smile not like a teacher I am able to start to pick up some of the info being talked about.
Easy to pick up!

too fast
If I was new to mandarin, it would be moving much too fast.
Other reviews claim the content looks amateur and goes too fast but I think that is part of the charm.
