About the Course

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....

I feel like some of the dialogues were a bit off-topic or unusual/unnatural. Other than that, very good course and highly recommend as something to do during quarantine if you're still in it (like me)

Definitely loved this course and the teacher goes through and explains everything slowly so that it is easier to comprehend. It is great for anyone trying to get into studying Chinese!

The course does not seem to be anything beyond, here's the list of HSK 1 vocabulary. The practice material is minimal for listening, reading, and writing. Very little instruction on how to write characters and how words are related to each other or other characters/radical. I was having a hard time remembering the word morning (上午) and lunch (午饭）until I finally figured one is time before noon and other noon meal. I took a Chinese course in college years back and remember the teacher explaining things like this and helping students create these type of connections which make it much easier to remember. For writing, it is much easier to learn the characters if you break it down into component characters and understand if the character is a pictogram, ideogram, compound ideogram, and semantic-phonetic compound. The course does not even explain this idea and you are definitely on your own looking up this information. I will finish this course since I started it but will be looking for something else for HSK 2 and beyond
