Lo compre hoy, pero no logre avanzarlo mucho y ni disfrutarlo como queria, ya que el curso esta en portugues y el problema que la traduccion en español es muy mala, se escucha entre cortado y a veces se acelera la velocidad del audio.
El curso es bueno, pero la traduccion muy mala, tratare de terminarlo con subtitulos mejor.
Espero que Domestika arregle esos detalles.
Este curso me ha gustado mucho y me llevo varias perlas que no esperaba.

Gostei do curso, achei algumas dicas muito interessantes e úteis, principalmente pra quem quer fazer vídeos pra internet. Minha crítica é apenas que achei algumas partes bem repetitivas e que não tinham necessidade de ficar falando sobre várias vezes nos vídeos. Mas no geral o curso é bom.
