„The course is perfect! One of the best things is that we get all the materials from class. Every lesson is recorded, so I can watch it again when something isn't clear or when I want to revise. That helped me a lot, especially when I couldn't make it to class. And thanks to Miroslav for taking the time at the start to explain the A2 grammar I was unsure about!“
