PlusTeacher is excellent! Translations need to be worked on. Many of the words that are translated are not accurate to what is in the software she's describing. And the profanities are completely unnecessary, out of context and pretty bad.

Un curso excelente para tener los básicos de la fotografía, en mi caso tome el curso para un emprendimiento y no tenía idea de cómo hacer unas fotos atractivas, ahora con este curso tengo más claridad solo queda practicar y mejorar.

Me encantó la forma de explicar de la profesora! Muy amena y clara. No sé nada de fotografía así que venía con lo básico que es prender la cámara y sacar la foto, pero ahora ya estuve haciendo algunas pruebas y me gusta el resultado. Super recomendado el curso!
