Una maravilla, muy claras las explicaciones, una metodología práctica, lo que hace que sea muy fácil de implementar, lo disfruté un montón.
Insegnante preparato e molto calmo. La traduzione è invece imbarazzante. Praticamente inutile, se non dannosa per la comprensione. Obiettivamente: ma come fate a vendere una roba del genere e chiedere dei soldi a gente onesta che li ha guadagnati lavorando?
The WORST translations I have ever seen in an instructional video, or actually, anywhere. Many words that don't make sense, or aren't words at all. I watched 3 or 4 of the units and just gave up. This instructor is also not using equipment that the average person owns, these are professional pieces of equipment, and if you're a professional, you are probably not learning your craft with videos like this. Waste of $$$ for anyone at any level.
Excelente curso!
