Unfortunately, there are numerous grammar mistakes in the English subtitles and even within the videos themselves. For example, there are frequent instances where "you're" (you are) is mistakenly written as "your." I found myself repeatedly reporting this and other errors. Additionally, some of the information provided is outdated. Moreover, many fellow students do not seem to have even an A1 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, yet they are tasked with grading assignments. This situation is less than ideal.
