my daughter has been watching it, she was made really enthusiastic, the course was mostly understandable for her as a Hungarian participant, and her being only 12. The steps are easy to follow, so that a 12 year-old can go with its flow. This is not only learning about new things, but 2 in 1 - developing her language knowledge as well. Thank you so much for all of these.
