### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good lessons, but traditional characters
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020*

This is a really good text, but it doesn't use the simplified characters currently used in China. If you want to learn both, this can be a good text to practice the originals. Each lesson is fairly short, but teaches you how to read paragraphs of text pretty quickly.
