I can't imagine myself learning Characters in a different way.
I can't imagine myself studying mandarin without the this course to teach me characters. I've been studying for 100 days, and I can really recommend this course for learning characters. I think it's a great investment for anyone looking to learn characters. I'm really glad I found this course, and I'm really excited for the next levels (I'm currently on level 21) Things to bare in mind: The flashcards can easily became overwhelming, so you will probably get to a point where you will have to prioritize a flashcard type over others. There's a learning curve in the beginning, so I think it's best to write down all your scenes in the first levels. When you get used to it you can just stop writing it and use your brain power. I personally believe it's great if you have a tutor just to help you with pronunciation of the characters you are learning. I would really pay attention to pronunciation, so you don't build bad habits in the beginning.
