It would be great if the sentences on the screen stayed a bit longer. They were quite quick, and for beginners like me, a few extra seconds would really help.

This course was definitely a great fit for me. I realized that even small details — like tone, structure, and punctuation — can completely change how a message is received. I enjoyed learning practical techniques that I can use every day, especially when writing emails or reports. It was a useful and engaging experience that really helped me grow as a communicator.
