"I’m an aerospace engineer from the United States who developed an interest in learning Chinese over a year ago with a goal of being able to communicate when I travel. I have tried a handful programs which claim to be a quick and easy, but was disappointed until finding Chinese Zero to Hero. The HSK 1&2 courses go into enough depth to support self studying, but without so much bloat that they are inefficient, repetitive, or boring. Personally, the grammar points are the most confusing aspect of Chinese, but the courses explained these very well. I will continue onto HSK3!"
