Very good course to start with. The instructor was very enthuiastic, which is goof as this positive energy is channeled, which makes it less boring. This course is for absolute beginner, if you want to learn grammar, this is not the course for you

I did learn quite a few things with this course. Some things I already knew and I had a small understanding of the writing, but the pitch mark stuff was completely new and interesting to know. Overall yes this is a very good course for beginners and absolute beginners. I'd recommend.
