COMMUNITY REVIEWS

He loves teaching submitted by tropology on August 29, 2020, 7:56pm The instructor loves his subject matter. That's more than clear. Some may be put off by his humor but I think it works in this context.

Of course to really learn the language you will need to do more than watch the videos!
