Is MCFC a complete solution for learning chinese ?

When learning Chinese, every student has two challenges: the first is to learn to speak and the second is to learn the characters. We chose to concentrate on the second challenge. MCFC has been designed with one goal in mind: helping students to memorise and write Chinese characters. That's why , you won t find any grammar nor sentences for learning to speak Chinese. If you are interested in learning to speak Chinese, the best way is probably to take lessons or get a software devoted to that.
