While the course is well-structured for absolute beginners, it may lack depth in cultural insights, potentially leaving students with a surface-level understanding of the language. The focus on HSK Level 1 may limit exposure to practical, conversational skills that extend beyond exam preparations. Additionally, interactive lessons might not be sufficiently immersive, possibly hindering students' ability to practice speaking and listening in real-life contexts. More resources for sustained learning could enhance effectiveness.
