This course is very interacting! Though they only give brief lessons, what I like about it the most are the activities it offers for you to brush up your skills more. Definitely a good recommendation!

Although it took me a while to warm to the idea of doing peer review exercises, and having to video record and upload work, actually I think this is an important part of the course and really useful.

- There are some issues on the website on which we have our exercises.
- The course would have been more informative and fruitful if it was in Spanish language.

great course for beginners but the only one thing is the instructor goes fast with spanish so you shout repeat to get the it as beginner.

I did not like sharing a video of myself to strangers judge, I think that evaluation should be changed

I was expecting more conversation and explanation during the course. More assistance basically.

If I didn't have a basic understanding of beginner-level Spanish before taking this class, I might not have finished the course.
By week 3 I just wanted it to end. There are valuable exercises, no doubt, but at a certain point when I'm doing what I was doing before taking the class (utilizing resources outside of it with no direction) it left me feeling more frustrated than gratified by completing it - and this is coming from someone who passed every quiz and assignment including the final with 100%. Also, for the final, why not just have students upload audio files rather than video files? In every discussion forum there are people dropping the class for various reasons but it was sad to see people getting all the way to the final in week 3 and wanting to drop the course because they didn't know how to upload a video, weren't allowed to use Youtube, etc. In other courses I've taken (music courses) we could upload audio files directly to coursera to share our final and get peer review, and people could even do that with a phone. Overall, this was definitely helpful but the way things were implemented feels a bit half-baked to me.

In my opinion, the course is not really for a beginner level. I have been studying Spanish for quite sometime, so I can easily answer the quizzes, etc. The major drawbacks for me include: the fast lectures which I don't think someone without a background knowledge of Spanish grammar and vocabulary can keep up, and the peer-graded review that is dependent on the 'learners' who also do not have yet the correct knowledge in grammar, diction and vocabulary. In this course, I submitted a video, a paper but a learner poorly graded my score, he just put 0- did not upload any video (even if I obviously have it), which is, for me, a little unfair. Anyway, I know my specific level of Spanish so I am just using this to review. Overall, it is just good for a review if you have a A2-B1 level of Spanish.

Its not very intuitive and it doesnt show how to make the right conjugations for verbs which is the hardest part. It wont let me skip ahead to other chapters. I'm not looking for a grade. I want to practice spanish in a hurry and I dont have a lot of time to devote. I want to move on to chapter 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This course is not for beginners, I had to do this course twice to understand the basics and also had to refer to google spanish translations. Also was not very comfortable recording videos for peer reviews. Would have preferred if some qualified person had reviewed my work instead as peer reviews are done by students who themselves are in the process of learning.

1) learning modules are meant for illeritarte mexican kids, not for non-hispanic learner of the language.
2) add a table of refrnece, so I dont have to pause videos
3) text-questons have a bug, i just copy the question and get it right.

I understand that this was an introduction course to the Spanish language but I don't feel that the exercise's really assisted in learning the language.
I don't think I would recommend this course to others.

For completing the course you have to record yourself and upload it online so other people can see you and evaluate you. I do not feel comfortable doing so, therefore I unenroll.

You should include how students can learn vocabularies more. Therefore, you make a platform which enables us to memorizes the vocabularies.
