Il corso è ben strutturato, mi è piaciuto molto e sicuramente acquisterò altri corsi di Domestika. Rubén spiega bene e qualche parola non è tradotta bene in italiano, non si capisce bene il significato. Forse le traduzioni possono essere riviste in qualche punto. Ma sono contenta di averlo acquistato perchè mi ha insegnato un processo che mi serviva imparare.
