Extremely valuable! This course broke my apprehension regarding writing characters. The hours spent practicing yielded great benefits. I hope by now that the voice that guides the course has been raised to a louder level, as it was barely audible when I took the class some 7 months ago, a topic of concern with many students. Other than that , hang in there, you will not regret taking the course.

I likes content of the course and method of teaching which start from the fundamental of language. Showing how the character should be written is good to understand because it is difficult for student to know sequence of each line that should be draw first second third .........and so on.
It should be very good if there are some message using those character at the end of course. That can make us clearer understand the meaning of each character of words. -
