This course didn't do as much for me emotionally as some of her others. But emotional engagement is what I'M looking for and I realize that not everyone is. I loved the personal element in the form of examples from Dana's own life. I would have appreciated even more detail, because the more human the teacher, the more I can relate to her on an emotional (as opposed to solely mental) level. Although her English is outstanding, there were some words that were difficult to understand. Usually these were cleared up by the context, but not always. In other cases, she simply substitutes one sound for another, so once you get what she's doing, it's no longer a problem. In my opinion, Dana has better material. But this course is totally worth the time and effort, even if only for the uplifting energy she brings to every word she speaks.
