course was excellent, however the voice overs were abrupt, slow, fast, different voices. some lessons had no voice over at all. this is probably my 25th course. If I had started my first course with this voice quality, I would have not continued. hope you can fix this!

Plusthe course is great. Very interesting the voice translation. I imagine this is a new feature and its early days so looking forward for next version. right now its a bit hard to understand as the voice is a bit robotic at times and the pace changes.
