Somewhat disappointing

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Not really. The content is ok, out of 12 hours, only 3-4 hours or so is really useful content, rest is how the female presenter feels, and doesn't feel, should be feeling, but is not feeling etc., which is a wastage of time.

What was most disappointing about Innovative Language Learning’s story?

I find female presenter very distracting with constantly interjecting with meaningless comments, which makes it difficult to follow the learning. However, that is balanced by male presenter who is calm, focussed and to the point.

Any additional comments?

I think the content is ok, but new version should allow less irrelevant chattering, and make it more professional with a trained female presenter.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
