I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest thanks for the incredible learning experience you have provided me with. From my very first course, I have been blown away by the quality of instruction, the depth of the material, and the flexibility of the platform.

The courses I have taken on edX have opened up new worlds of knowledge and understanding for me, and have helped me to expand my skills and abilities in ways that I never thought possible. The platform has provided me with access to world-class instructors and resources, and has given me the opportunity to learn from some of the best universities and institutions in the world.

I am especially grateful for the sense of community that edX has fostered among its learners. The platform has allowed me to connect with fellow learners from all over the world, and to engage in meaningful discussions and collaborations with people who share my passion for learning.

Overall, I cannot thank edX enough for the incredible learning journey that I have been on. The platform has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow in this way.

Thank you again for everything you have done to support my education, and for being such an incredible resource for lifelong learners like myself.

The course is great but some of the activities are subject to the choice of the platform/teacher because there are more than one ways to answer specially the complete the sentence or change sentence to have a similar meaning. Also the use of the vocabulary is mostly in British English so US spelling is taken as a fault!

It is a good way to practise and improve your English skills with a variety exercises, but sometimes explanations are vague and not enough to achieve proposed exercises. Alsoyou need more time to complete every unit, very different from the time specified at the beginning of the course. Is a way to point out what topics you have to review or check again by your own.

I took this fantastic course and I feel it was a very good choice, the only thing I suggest to look at and improve is the speaking section because it does not work for me in any unit. Nevertheless *Me pareció excelente, siento que aprendí muchas cosas y espero seguir mejorando*

This course is far better than I expected. It really helped me to improve my knowledge of English. I suggest it would be better if there’s an ability to improve the speaking exercises, including peer assessments and proper grading. But overall this is excellent. It’s worth completing the course.

Well structured course that touches on differents aspects, it's content is explained thoroughly.
One issue though is that some questions are ambiguous, furthermore, the speaking activites are not working properly, other than that really useful and helpful.
