Para terminar el curso debo pagar y pierde un poco el sentido de establecer tiempos para completar el curso. Considero que está bien que el certificado tenga un costo, quizás debieron poner esa opción al momento de realizar examen final, pero no los test intermedios.

Ofrece buen contenido para practicar y aprender inglés, además hay buenas explicaciones sobre los temas que se van presentando. Sin embargo cuando se evalúa la mayoría de cuestionarios tienen respuestas con errores en la gramática y estructura de las oraciones y no presentan una coherencia

1.- Quiero aprender Ingles, y me enseñan técnicas pero totalmente en ingles

2.- No puedo ni hacer las evaluaciones

3.- por 8 horas de videos de nivel básico ahora me cobran antes solo cobraban si querías un certificado de la universidad que impartió el curso.

I just developed a new love for English because of this course! After learning it, I even managed to teach what I learned from it to my 6-year-old kid and his understanding is brilliant! It a skill I will pass on to my next generation! Thanks Coursera!

Muy bueno para aprender conceptos básicos y tener una base inicial en este importante idioma, mas que un idioma es una herramienta de trabajo que debamos tratar de reforzar y manejar lo mas posible, a día de hoy agradezco a ver visto este curso Básico.

This is a great course for a person who wants to understand the most common situations at the office. You'll need to have some previous knowledge of the language to complete this, but the course itself is very intuitive.
