It is traditional Chinese and not the simplified version although most of the are the same. You will learn the English word but not the Chinese Pronounciation and the pinyin of the character. The pinyin is useful if you want to type a Chinese character on a PC.

Fascinating. My kids (9 + 5 years)  just learned eight characters in 2 Minutes.

First Row: 1) Fire 2)Tree 3)Sun 4)Moon Second Row: 5)Human Being 6)Mouth 7)Door 8)Mountain

You learn 43 characters in 10 minutes. With these you cannot form sentences.

If you go by the course one memrise the first thousand words in Chinese, you are able to form sentences already after the first 15 words you have learned.
