  • It's a good course to get started on understanding the Australian accent and language. Emma is very engaging and clear with her explanations so you won't notice that you're already at the end of the course.

    Emma is really very energetic and nice teacher. Her pronunciation is clear and can understand very easily. Topics are interesting and helpful for starting conversation with others.

    The video #5 is for real beginners, and that im my opinion doesn't really correlate with the whole idea of this course (you know, learning a slang and accents is kinda advanced).
    The video #6 is not available (at least from the location where I'm right now, Malaysia).
    Some parts of videos and expressions are repetitive.
    Than's why only four stars.
    Other than that, it's really nice course, Emma is a really great teacher and character, perfect pronunciation, great topics.

    It was helpful and really I got to know about many new things that I didn't know before and it also has increased my interest to know more about different accents.
