I found the course underwhelming despite its potential. The lessons felt overly simplified, lacking depth in vocabulary and grammar. While the interactive activities were enjoyable, they didn't adequately reinforce learning. Additionally, expectations for practical application were not met, as everyday scenarios weren’t emphasized enough. I also hoped for more resources to support listening and reading comprehension. Overall, while it sets the groundwork for basic Mandarin, it didn't challenge or engage me as I had anticipated.
