Hello, This is really nice course. I have learned many rules of English language. I believe that the course likes ESL but more than ESL.
Very clear and comprehensive explanations, I enjoyed learning specially taking in consideration English is my second language. I would recommend this course to anyone involved in the business world to make their writing and presentations more effective!
It was good to recapture the basic English grammar. And also proper structure of different form of document were quite useful.
I have really brushed up my basic English grammar . It would surely refresh and regain my perfect effective English.
There are a lot of errors in the questionnaires concerned Proper instructions are not been provided. There is one question, in which two answers are the same, and not accepting the same. Then as for the article questionnaire, instructions are not proper. We are to submit article or no article. But Instructions have not mentioned that we need to type "No Article" when there is no article.
Rather it is always better we provide multiple choices. Choice can be more than 3. The I am sure there would not be any error in misunderstanding!!
