très déçue. la personne qui propose le cours est une artiste talentueuse mais un piètre professeur. on a du mal à suivre et la video est mal filmée. si vous connaissez deja les noeuds, vous vous en sortirez, mais à quoi bon suivre ce cours si c'est le cas? les sous titres traduisent n'importe comment, ce qui embrouille encore plus. et pour finir, les documents joints sont minimaux.
