Le cours est très bien.
Par contre, la traduction automatique est très mauvaise, au point d'être parfois incompréhensible en audio comme en sous-titrage. Les zip ne fonctionnent pas, la plupart des liens non plus, notamment ceux renvoyant au matériel.
Es la primera vez que me introduzco en estampados y la cantidad de información técnica estuvo muy bien para mi introducción. Julia es muy cálida a la hora de transmitir su conocimiento y anima a poner manos a la obra. Gracias Julia <3
