Very clear, well explained videos. I tend to lose interest with video learning but I was kept engaged. Very enjoyable course helping you absorb lots of information quickly like a sponge.

Readings are not enough i wish that they had more video examples instead of giving every information in readings. I like the first two courses better.

Es casi completamente indispensable saber ingles con este curso, los subtítulos están pésimos y muchas veces entran fuera de tiempo

I feel the course needs more AI based lessons where a Bot can ask us a set of questions instead of us filling templates.

With the money google has visuals and short films would make a substantial impact on memorizing or remembering for many
