This course is better suited for students in India or Pakistan. Difficult to follow, terms used are not ones we use in the U.S., and his English is very difficult to understand.

By Khristine Calvento on 9/13/2020
This is just awesome. I really like he connects all the topics, gives examples, and especially when he guides us not to worry about a specific word or topic because we will discuss it later. I have a tendency to think too far ahead, but with his guidance., I don't have to stress too much. looking forward to more of his lessons.. :)
