The online Chinese lessons aroused students' interest in Chinese characters. "I've always been interested in China," said Kong Duo, a student. "I'll try to learn Chinese well and then go visit the Great Wall and the Yellow River." Student Long Quan said, "Chinese culture is very attractive. I will study hard and hope to study in China in the future."

The China Cultural Center in Tanzania has always been trying to make online Chinese teaching effective. The course integrates word formations of characters into teaching, and uses pictographs to build a bridge for students to learn Chinese characters so learners can understand Chinese characters better.
