I enjoyed the subject matter of the course, as I felt it was conducive to everyday living. However, I felt that having some actual feedback from a teacher would have been great, especially for the writing, speaking, and listening sections. I found that especially for the listening sections, I was having to redo them often for having missed one or two words in a given sentence. This ended up with me just memorizing the dialogue, which I felt was less effective for me being able to apply the grammar concepts and to remember the vocabulary from the lesson. Overall, it was fine for me needing to get the course done quickly and on my own time, but I would say that for feedback on sentence construction and listening practice it would be a better experience in-person or with a Skype/video component. However, I know that components like this would likely make the course more expensive as well.
