I am endlessly grateful for this course. I’ve learned so much. And let me tell you something, I’ve enjoyed the videos from our teachers better than any Netflix movie I had been binge watching.

This course has met all my expectations. It has been well presented by our lecturers, including role plays, interactive and pdf practicing pages for each lesson part. I liked the topic selection for the peer graded assignments to write short stories applying the acquired knowledge.

I have completed a few grammar courses on other platforms too but what this course has given me is a complete understanding of the use of tenses with day to day examples and exercises. I am very grateful to the whole cast for giving me such a deep knowledge of tenses. Cheers.

It was a commendable course to enroll in for people starting to learn tenses. You can fully understand the topic since it incorporates actions (describing the tenses through acting) and words. These made the lessons easier to remember and picture the meaning of the lesson.

This was the most amazing English course on Coursera so far. Difficult topics are explained in as much detail and understandable as possible with fun examples. Hope the next courses in the specialization are just as cool :)
