Customer feedback highlights clear grammar explanations, accessible content, beginner suitability and ease of use, including for self-study. Audio experiences are mixed, with reports of missing CDs and one compatibility complaint. That matters if spoken practice is central to your plan. The listing describes audio through an app or website, but does not confirm a physical CD bundle or universal device compatibility. Aggregate ratings are generally favourable but include a meaningful spread across rating levels, and do not explain why individual customers rated the course as they did.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the explanations as clear and the content as approachable for beginners.
- Feedback also praises usability and suitability for self-study.
Negative themes
- Some customers report missing CDs, and one reports an Apple-device compatibility restriction.
Mixed feedback
- Audio feedback is mixed, so confirm the available audio format and access on your intended device.
