The course covers important topics but the it's hard to learn from it: (1) There is no handout with the key concepts. I had to stop the video and copy (re-type) information from the screen. (2) Singing along is a good idea, but it's hard to understand the words without looking at the lyrics. But looking at the lyrics defeats the purpose. (3) Some phrases used in the course would make good exercises to repeat 6 to 10 times. But the instructor has made only pauses for us to diagnose a specific mode of speech. Rewinding and re-listening is not easy, because you can go to the desired place exactly. For example, you may have noted that good material is at the 4min 33sec mark, but you can't choose this point on the course display.
