So, I have a question about names. When I look at translation of my name to Chinese it looks sort of like this 黑暗山强度 . My name is Sierra, and that was it’s meaning if I go based on why my parents named me…. but it seems impossible to use that name. It’s a Spanish Irish translation into Chinese, and someone I’m trying to practice with said it is much easier if I try to adopt a Chinese name for the future.
We have a video lesson on How to Get A Chinese Name, check it out if you’re interested!
Excellent course, I found it very useful! The only area of opportunity that I found was that the final exam was way too easy and too short, it should be longer and harder so we can really test everything that you taught us. Other than that, I loved it.
I understand that some learners might expect this Final Test to be more challenging.
When I made this test, it was more for the purpose of testing whether the learner has mastered all the vocabulary and grammar in this level (also for learners to test if they need to study this course if they have been learning Chinese with other resources and decide to use our course), instead of challenging them to see if they will be capable for more complicated language tasks. Especially because this is a beginner course.
The test is 10 questions per quiz, but you can retake it and the whole question bank has 250 questions.
But the quizzes for Level 2 Course are much challenging, because learners are expected to be able to use the language in a more flexible way in that level.
Hi Lili,
I took this course last year (probably some lessons this year too). I did all the tests but I don’t have a ‘certificate’ for any test? I do have a green checkmark next to all the tests. Is there a separate test I have to pass?
Thanks,
Valentin
Hi Valentin,
At the moment we don’t currently have “Certificates” set up for the courses. But it’s definitely something we plan to implement in the future. But congratulations on completing all the quizzes. Keep up the good work!
I like that your Beginner Chinese Course is simple and to the point whereas others are too complicated for beginners.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed our Beginner Chinese Course.
