This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of learning the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) 1 reading course through the Udemy platform and assess the learner's satisfaction with learning the Chinese course on the Udemy platform. The participants were 30 zero-foundation learners with minimal exposure to basic Chinese expressions and were randomly selected from those enrolled in the Chinese course on Udemy. The pretest and post-test were designed for this study, and the researchers sent the satisfaction survey to the Chinese language learners to investigate the learners' satisfaction. The findings revealed that the students' post-test scores were significantly higher than the pretest scores; the current online Chinese language courses benefit students in learning the language. The satisfaction survey results showed that learners were satisfied with learning Chinese courses on the Udemy platform.
