Muy muy útil para latinos que estamos buscando trabajo en otros paises. Hablan lento y se les entiende todo, también ayudan con la ortografía y como escribir de la forma mas correcta los documentos.

The course is simple to understand for those who are not native English speakers and has a lot of subtitles, which helps a lot. The materials are very didactic, interactive, and great explanations
