Excellent course content! There are technical problems with the recordings, though (interruptions, unfinished sentences, repeating phrases/parts), so occasionally it can be difficult to follow (especially in lesson 5). But it is well worth the effort - the thwoey and the practices are all wonderful 🙏🪷
