This is a very useful course it covers the most important topics about the skills communications and is especially helpful for those who are not native English speakers
By Pretty-Rose Mbodo on 2/6/2026
This is a very informative course overall. However, I have concerns about some answers being marked as grammatically correct. There may be errors in the course content. For example, “I sorry for the mistake” is not grammatically correct because the verb “am” is missing. In English, when using the verb “to be” with the subject “I,” the correct form is “am.” The word “sorry” is an adjective, not a verb, so it cannot stand alone after the subject. Without the verb “am,” the sentence is incomplete and does not follow standard English sentence structure.

Al momento rappresenta un utile ripasso, ma il video si interrompe continuamente perchè carica troppo lentamente e non è un problema di connessione.

A great reminder of some of the things most of us have forgotten, and very good tips to follow if this is not something you have done before or knew to do..

The course was a good match for me. There are many topics covered in this course that I wanted to learn more about. And I did learn a lot in the different sections and lectures.
