The Complete Chinese Method

Very accurate lessons! When I moved to Varese I had to find a new way to study and, thank goodness, I found Lili and ChineseFor.Us!

The most in-depth course you'll find. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. While looking at their HSK 1 Course, I found myself learning new things even though I'm preparing for an HSK 5 exam.

Great video! Simple and clearly explained! That's the true way to teach! 你们做的视频做得非常好!

This is for everyone that wants to know if this method works or not. Tomorrow is my one-year anniversary of learning Chinese. I can read, write, and speak Mandarin with native speakers now. I hope this message will help every person that is guessing if this will help you learn Chinese. It really will! Thank you, and keep going!

Dear Lili, this course is really super-thorough and deep. It explains everything in detail and to the point and that's just what I like because I feel, that I can proceed after having completely understood a topic - here: Pinyin - rather than having lots of blanks and not quite understood bits and pieces. So, this is just the approach to learning, what I need and what I like. I would call it "science-based" because it appears complete (as far as I can tell, being a beginner), very detailed and thoroughly thought-through, like it would be probably taught at university level - I like this a lot. Also, in your discussion of the NEW HSK format video one can see, how deep your preparation and thoroughness in preparing the learning material goes when you refer to that conference introducing this new HSK format. That's just great! like this scientific-based approach! You have definitely won me as an eager learner of Chinese with your very engaging videos which are very useful and professionally done. Congrats to this. I know how much work that involves and can appreciate it, as I am an academic teacher myself.

As always you are able to teach topics with more details than others. So even having studied the topic of time intensively the last month at my language school, I was again enlightened by you. Great! Thank you!

This is the best learning resource and I tried dozens!

The explanation of "r" as simply a voiced "sh" is so very right and meaningful. I have been struggling with this consonant for some time checking various sites for explanations and recordings, and finally you made it completely clear for me!!!

These sounds are like weight lifting exercises for your tongue. After the third time through the video I was able to reproduce the right sound. I appreciate the very specific instructions you gave on each sound. We all need this type of phonetics training. Excellent video!

I am so glad that i can remember the chinese characters learning from chineseforus. I struggled learning previously from other websites as they were too difficult for my level. I find that I learn better with the quizzes here as the characters learnt are repeated to reinforce my learning. I love how the lessons are structured.

Very useful lesson — keep working on your great course. After HSK1 I can have basic communication with Chinese tourists using a mix of Chinese, English, and body language.

Finally, I am able to understand the first sentence of this video. My goal is to understand the full video without having to search up the individual words, but only through rigorous course-learning.

My Chinese girlfriend always told me my pronunciation is off. After only a few of these pinyin drills and learning how to position the mouth and tongue she said my pronunciation is so much better. Can't wait to make my way to the HSK 2 lessons.

Wow, I managed to memorize 1-100 in a 14 minute video. I'm very impressed. This is an awesome course!!!

I found this website (from youtube) and let my son to learn Chinese from it. I am very pleased with my son's improvement so far. Thanks teacher Lili for all great lessons, especially those fundamentals (pinyin, tone, etc) that are really excellent (both my wife and I are native speakers of Chinese, but we don't have such systematic knowledge on pinyin, tone, and grammars). Kudos to the teacher and all staff!

I've taught myself all the words of thirteen languages so far. And I've created many English courses in France and Africa. Chinesefor.us is the best and most fun program I've ever done. Bless you! You're fabulous. I'd love to help you sell your program and tell people about it all the time; I've developed a pretty good sales pitch for telling my friends and clients about Chinesefor.us... because that's just my personality when I love something dearly!

Just a comment: I really enjoy these videos. They're concise and clear. And eliciting responses from us as we watch is also a great way to recall and practice what we're learning. Well done and thanks for making this course! It's by far my favorite structured resource I use to learn Mandarin.

This drill is absolutely the best! I started with Anki to learn vocabulary, but everything sounded the same, I was really frustrated. With this course I learned to differentiate the ch, sh and zh so much better! They way you explain how to form those sounds just did it for me. Thank you very much!!!!

In April I have just did successful HSK1 exam (189/200points) thanks for chinesefor.us. Thank you! :)

I was not never good with language but more of a math person. However the setup of this course is very structured that I found love and satisfaction to learn this language. I use 2 other courses but my learning plan revolves around your structure. I am glad you opened up the HSK3 courses (as opposed to take a test first) as I do preview some of the lessons which more clearly explains grammar I was struggling with in earlier lessons where the same grammar was only explained briefly. I just hope that you will continue to add lessons because I noticed "I am catching up" :) I can't wait to master this 把 Sentences. Thank you for providing such an insightful course, and I do hope that many more students will agree with me so that we may enjoy your lessons for many years to come. 感谢您 约翰

As someone who spent a lot of time 'acquiring' bits and pieces of spoken Chinese without any formal learning of reading or writing, it's such a relief to finally learn these 'time sequencing' topics more concretely (same with the 'relative positioning' topic from the previous lesson). I think the idea of time flowing down (from above and going down to underneath) doesn't really exist so literally in English. Thinking in terms of the English words 'next' and 'last' can interfere with understanding the use of 下and 上 in this context. Anyway, all that just to say that I'm grateful and that Lessons 15 and 16 have been very much appreciated.

I really enjoyed the course, especially the way how you teach and quizzes that helped me to work on my weakness sides. I am an absolute beginner and I have noticed the fact that the systematic learning programme works very effective when it comes to language learning. At first I thought why they don't start with teaching vocabularies and was little bit confused. But after understanding the role of correct pronouncing pinyins and their rule, I understand that your method is the most appropriate and effective. Thanks a lot for your effort and fantastic course.)

I'm not ready yet to record a video or audio, but I know one day I will. Thank you very much Lili and Chuck, I'm very happy to have found this online course, I've improved quite a lot and I know I'm on the right path thanks to you guys. Can't wait for the next step!

I am in a second level beginners course in Mandarin and find your courses to be a strong and helpful supplement to the course I am taking. In fact, I find it more personal and detailed than the actual class. I especially struggle with the tones and am so glad that you have a way to practice that I can go back to time and time again. It is extremely helpful and the effort you have put into this program is very thourough. It's like having my own tutor. Thank you so very much for taking the time to create such a program. 谢谢！

I just noticed something: the more traditional method is to give the give the dialogue with translation first, then later without the translation. The practitioners of this approach probably reason that they are progressing from easy to difficult. On the other hand, you give it without the translation, then with the translation, then without the translation. That gives us a chance to test and practice our ability to understand without translation, which is what we will have to be able to do in the field.

I learnt basic Chinese from a local Chinese trainer in India, however, even after completing 3 months I am filled with many doubts. But once I am going through your videos I am finding this the perfect way to learn this beautiful language. Thanks Hao Li. Your presentation way is just perfect and the way I was looking for. I am going to appear for HSK exam in May this year and I hope your videos will help me preparing myself. Thanks once again for all your effort.

This is what I was looking for. Yesterday I found your website and today I've got some time to finish your first lesson. Your videos and quizzes are invaluable in learning and testing my understanding. Thank you for your passionate commitment to teaching and providing learners like me with an excellent platform to further our Mandarin Chinese knowledge. I will continue my educational journey with your website. Thank you!

As an Afghan student, I would like to sincerely thank my Chinese language teacher Ms.Lili Hao for creating such a wonderful and effective learning system. I am truly impressed and very happy with the way the lessons are delivered. Your efforts have made learning Chinese both enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you once again for your dedication and support!

Very nice lessons. I've been studying Mandarin for several months. I decided to start at the beginner level because I thought it would be worthwhile. It is. Some of this is review for me, but by no means all of it. In particular, the explanations about the characters and radicals are extremely helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this Basic Level Beginner's Chinese course! I've learned so much from taking this course and enjoyed it as well! Everything was explained clearly and in detail and I'll have to say because of that Chineseforus is the BEST Mandarin course I have found to date! Cheers! :)

thank you very much LIli, for providing this kind of method of learning Chinese , I am a beginner but now I am very comfortable with this kind of method. I am very confident by this kind of method. Hope someday there will be face to face online talking session for practicing. Regards

Lili, you have devised an ingenious language learning curriculum for the teaching of introductory Chinese. My main concern was how does one learn Chinese characters. The interactive process is based on sound learning techniques and is quite versatile in its approach. Thank you.

你好 Lili ! I'm French and joined your course a few days ago. I do enjoy your lessons. I'm a beginner and I'm discovering the Chinese language with great pleasure. What attracts me more is how writing the characters despite their difficulty. 谢谢你 Lili 。 Rosemarie.

I'm loving this... thank you Chinesefor.us for the lessons, so carefully planned. You actually made possible something I tried 10 years ago and thought impossible: to learn Chinese!

I am really pleased with how the quizzes are getting more difficult and complex as we move through the course. I also love that you are bringing in words and phrases already learned so that we keep building on our vocabulary. 谢谢！

I just want to say that I really enjoy every moment of every single lesson and practice. I find these lessons extremely exciting and easily understandable. I truly learned a lot so far and am motivated and eager to progress.

at first i am having a hard time doing the tone drills, i am so confused with 2nd and 4th tone, but as i repeat the videos and the exercises, i was able to follow it with ease. thanks, this is really helpful and interesting!

I have started the course a few days ago, and everything that I have learned so far is impressive. I can understand each lesson pretty fast and the information is very well explained to me! thank you for making these videos

I saw the print outs the next day. Thank you so much. I think your courses are fantastic, very thorough. I recommend your online courses to all my friends who might be interested in having their children learn Chinese:-).

Just one week on the website and I am loving it. The lessons are fun and easy to learn. The way Quizzes are structured, they make the learning faster. I wish, I would have found this website and Teacher Li a year ago.

Thank You Lili! I am in sixth grade and this is very helpful because I am preparing for Foreign Exchange students in high school! This content is very easy to learn and my small brain can hand it very well.

I'm really interested in studying Chinese, mainly to be able to make friends and potentially explore new business opportunities. I'm really enjoying the emphasis placed on building a solid foundation here!

This was the first ever exposure I have had to speaking Mandarin Chinese. I believe it is a very valuable first step to build a solid foundation to a long journey in learning to speak Mandarin. Thank you!

Thank you so much! That's what I've been doing so I can continue listening to these wonderful, structured, lessons. I love your site, your classes, the organization, everything. It is so helpful. Cheers!

I find it very entertaining to play around saying these and the tips to touch your vocal chords or put your hand in front of your mouth really help explain how to pronounce them properly. Thank you!

I really enjoyed your description for the difference between Ji Qi and Xi. I have struggled with this. I had friends try to teach me but your explanation made it easier for me. Thank you.

Thank you for making a very thoughtful and comprehensive course. I really appreciate all the details that has been thought in the course. I can't wait to start learning HSK 1 course.

Great course :) Everything was well-paced and explained super well. I find myself figuring out the stroke order just by looking any time I see a character. Chuck and Lili !

Love this website. Love the pacing and instructions per video which allows me time to learn it. Somehow with this I feel I could speak, read and write properly in Chinese!

I am a stunned language student and teacher of languages. Teaching is a scientifically informed art and your science and art are efficiency itself. THANK YOU FOR THIS

Very helpful. Thank you very much. I could write my name now in Chinese character. It's worth the time and the effort. I could also recognize some Chinse characters.

Such complete explanation ! Rarely we happen to see and read such explanations. Your explanation is not less than excellent grammar books, it is my experience.

I enjoy very much how your lessons force me to speak and repeat. I am finding my fluency and ability to think in Chinese improving day by day. Thank you.

This course was super helpful to really understand the different tones especially in different context. It made me to make sure I can fully execute them.

Fantastic. I've never seen components/elements/radicals explained so well. Now I see I had a fundamental misunderstanding of how characters are built.

You are the best in terms of content and teaching methods. best value for the money! I wish you grow fast and quickly add more HSK levels. good luck!

Dear Lili, I really enjoyed these lessons and I feel like I am improving at writing characters. Thank you for organizing such an amazing course!

i really love the way you design lessons for different levels. Please teach us on all 6 levels of HSK. I'm willing to be your long-term student.

This was a great course! You guys put so much effort into every video lesson and quizzes - definitely worth the subscription cost. Thank you!

I had so much fun doing this course and learning Chinese. I'm really enjoying every second of it. Now, I'll jump straight to the HSK1 course!

This is epic, exactly what I was looking for. I can do these on the go to keep my memory sharp. Thanks so much for making this to begin with

Those quizzes are amazing and I am looking forward to those getting more difficult, as I am getting better with every lesson.

Wow that is a great tip putting your hand in front of your mouth to hear more acute as to how you're pronouncing, thank you!

These lessons are so amazing, well worth the premium membership, learning the tones first really helps out. thanks so much

So glad I found you ! You are a super good teacher, very clear. The course is really well made. 谢谢你们！

As a Beginner, I am enjoying your HSK 1 lesson and finding your structure/approach easy to learn.

Yes! I love how you are now asking the questions in Chinese. I love this course so much.

Thank you Lili. I now think Chinese characters are not as hard as I initially thought.

Great! I loved the story. It feels so good to be able to read a longer piece of text.

Great lesson! You are a great teacher and the lessons are super helpful.

I love the natural, almost real life speed. It's exactly what I need

Best Chinese teacher on the planet.

Great, I've recommended this to my older sister because my niece and nephew take Chinese in school but struggle with pronunciation at the moment. They're in Grade 1 and kindergarten but I think if my older sister takes these courses with her husband then they can definitely help their children do better in Chinese language.

你好 我叫Jonas Ruskys. Thank you so much for the work Lee. You are an axelent teacher and, your learning system is beatifull. I realy benifited from your lessons and, i wish you to keep on teaching and helping people with their chinese. With much apriciation Jonas Ruskys.
