The Domino Chinese Story 
◆ Domino Chinese was founded in 2014 by foreigners who had struggled to learn Mandarin Chinese the conventional way. Together this group of learners built and developed a unique course which is clearly structured with a ‘building block methodology’, providing insights, explanations and learning tips to help students to quickly learn and understand Chinese, and easily remember Chinese characters. 
So whether you wish to learn Chinese for travel, work, business, study or simply to make friends and gain new experiences, the Domino Chinese App is the perfect app for you!

◀ Domino Swedish ▶ 
This course follows and builds on a test student, Shien, who passed the course after a 3-week intensive course and nowadays relies completely on her Swedish as she lives and works in Sweden. The course is over 50 hours of videos, using the Domino methodology each concept is broken up into small digestible chunks. Upon completing the course you’ll be able to pass the B1-exam which allows you to pursue Swedish jobs in Sweden.

### 5/5 — An amazing new method to learn Chinese

*2023-09-15*

Felix’s method of breaking down characters makes Chinese manageable. I have been studying the platform Felix has created for over a year now and his method is unique and definitely worth a try. If you ever had any inclination to learn Chinese give domino a try you won’t be disappointed. Also the videos are priceless and make learning fun.

### 1/5 — Omg

*2021-11-07, version 5.2.2*

Wish it wasn’t having to be paid for

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2021-02-28, version 5.1.12*

The good: Felix does a good job not scaring off beginners.  I think this is a good course for beginners and people without lots of language study background, but someone with significant language study background may be better served by some mixture of textbooks and online dialogue videos/a one-on-one tutor.  In fact, I would say the more you have studied languages, the more you will find Domino Chinese some mix of longwinded and annoying. 

The bad: 
There is lots of room for improvement:
1. Occasionally get errors about "can't find my learning progress." These seem to be less common now.  
2. The flashcards are annoying in that they often cover words not in the videos or are out-of-sync with the videos due to the course evolving.  Additionally, equal weight is placed on obscure words as opposed to very common words.  Fluency is more based on you knowing the top 500 or 1000 words completely as opposed to whichever words Felix chose to teach together in a lesson because the characters looked similar.  
3. I think the coverage of grammar is good for beginners but longwinded and perhaps even confusing if you have a better background in language study. 
4. Unfortunately vocabulary learning is done by related characters, so it takes a long time before you learn even basic words that you may need. 
5. The course is advertised as "45 minutes a day", but some of the lessons take well over an hour when you add up the videos and quizzes.

### 5/5 — Great app

### 5/5 — My favourite Chinese learning App

*2020-10-26, version 5.1.6*

I decided to learn Chinese during quarantine. After trying a few different apps, I found this one to be the most effective for me and best of all there are a lot of good exercises and information given to you for free. Sometimes, if I am not in the mood for any lessons, I find the daily challenge games are enough to keep me coming back. The app’s UI is easy to navigate and overall very stylish. When I eventually find employment again I will definitely pay for the premium subscription as there are some extra features which would make my life easier, but rest assured the free version will not limit your learning at all!

### 5/5 — I am very happy about good things means not annoying

*2020-10-26, version 5.1.6*

I am very good job

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2020-10-25, version 5.1.5*

Excellent way to learn and memorize chinese characters. Fun, simple and helpful 😃
