The lectures were very simple and easy to follow. Also, it was good that the number of quizzes is only few because there are already practice questions in every lecture.

Para terminar el curso debo pagar y pierde un poco el sentido de establecer tiempos para completar el curso. Considero que está bien que el certificado tenga un costo, quizás debieron poner esa opción al momento de realizar examen final, pero no los test intermedios.

1.- Quiero aprender Ingles, y me enseñan técnicas pero totalmente en ingles

2.- No puedo ni hacer las evaluaciones

3.- por 8 horas de videos de nivel básico ahora me cobran antes solo cobraban si querías un certificado de la universidad que impartió el curso.

The course was really great for someone who didn't have a good background in English grammar like me. After the course, I have acquired basic knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills. Thank you very much!

I appreciated this course really much. I didn't use much English during the pandemic so, my skill is a bit dull. This course strengthened my basics and made me want to study English again. Thanks a million!
