Live now · the Chinese course

From your first 你好 to HSK 9

The Chinese course is complete and online: a lesson-by-lesson programme for HSK 1–4, the HSK Standard Course textbooks, my own Arabic-language course (أجي تعلّم اللغة الصينية), and a flashcard deck covering every level up to HSK 9.

  • 70 lessons across HSK 1–9, with one clear aim per lesson
  • 11,000 words in the deck — pinyin plus meanings in English, French and Arabic
  • Study, browse and quiz modes, filtered by HSK level — HSK 1 free

A card from the deck — flip it, star it, and get tested by the quiz.

The teaching approach

Structured lessons, real practice, steady progress

No random worksheets and no guessing what to study next. Every programme is a path with a clear next step.

A clear path, level by level

Chinese follows the HSK scale from 1 to 9; the European languages follow CEFR A1–C2. You always know your level and the next step.

Speaking from lesson one

Grammar and vocabulary are practised in conversation, so the language becomes something you can use — not only something you study.

Materials that match the lesson

The HSK Standard Course series and my own Arabic-language Chinese course, plus the right material for every other language.

Practice between lessons

The flashcard deck keeps vocabulary moving forward outside class — free, at every level, on any device.

Questions

What people ask before starting

Levels, pacing, price and the flashcard deck — the six questions that come up most often.

Which language can I start today?

Chinese. HSK 1 to HSK 9 are online now, with 70 lessons, the HSK Standard Course and a seven-volume Chinese course written for Arabic speakers. German, French, English and Spanish are being written, but one-to-one or group classes in them can start straight away if you get in touch.

Do I need to know pinyin or tones before HSK 1?

No. HSK 1 begins with the sound system: the four tones, pinyin and the first characters. Nothing later in the programme assumes you already know any Mandarin.

How long does HSK 1 take?

Fifteen lessons, about one and a half to two months at a normal pace, following the HSK Standard Course textbook together with the Arabic-language course.

Are lessons one-to-one or in a group?

Both. One-to-one is the default because the plan can follow your level and your deadline; small groups work well when two or three learners share the same goal.

What does the Chinese course cost?

Five dollars a month, cancellable at any time. That opens the whole Chinese course: the full 11,000-word flashcard deck, the 409-syllable pinyin chart with 1,635 recordings, the HSK 1–6 dialogues, stroke-order practice and the exercise workbook. The HSK 1 deck and the German A1–B1 vocabulary trainer are free.

Can I practise between lessons?

Yes. The flashcard deck is built for exactly that: every word with its pinyin and its meaning in English, French and Arabic, with study, browse and quiz modes, filtered by HSK level.
