Please note: there were some discrepancies in the presentation versus what was stated. For example, the coat of arms picture showed horizontal stripes yet, it was stated as vertical stripes.

Is good to refresh the lessons and the grammar. It's amazing. I studied log time ago. But, is good because it helps to understand it when it comes. Thank you. The explanation was understandable LOve it.
By Ulrich Krause on 1/19/2023
Overall, the course is well presented. I felt it lacked a little more direct reference to Technical English. There is too much focus on basics in English, especially at the beginning of the course. In the end, I did gain some new insights from the course.

I like this course, it is very helpful as well as authentic for me to comprehend the technical terms' usage in fact. The trainer's pronounciation and wordings are very clear, precise, comprehensive and so easily adaptable. All are Well done!

Documents technical without explanation, without sounds. It's very boring
By Denise Seipp on 11/30/2020
An sich ein schöner Kurs. Das "Beginners" im Titel trifft es sehr gut - dieser Kurs ist wirklich für Leute gedacht, die gerade anfangen Englisch zu lernen und das in einem technischem Umfeld benötigen. Für Fortgeschrittene, ist der Kurs zu niedrig angesetzt. Dennoch konnte ich das eine oder andere Thema als auffrischung mitnehmen. Der Kursinhalt ist liebevoll gestaltet und die meisten sollten in dem Tempo mithalten können. Besonders hilfreich sind die Kursunterlagen und Übungsaufgaben.

It's very clearly the topics aboarded.

Very good course of approach to the English language, it helps to start with the learning.
By Gasto Botelho on 9/9/2020
It is a very basic English training, indeed for beginners, so I've passed that a long time ago. However it is very well structured and effective for beginners. I recommend.
