Grazie grazie e ancora grazie! senza di voi non sarei mai riuscita a passare il concorso straordinario di ottobre scorso. Mi avete dato la possibilità di accedere a una serie di materiali che altrimenti da sola avrei fatto molta fatica a reperire. Ho studiato quasi esclusivamente dai vostri materiali e ritengo che siano stati la carta vincente!!! vi ringrazio ancora tantissimo!

Ho impiegato mesi a raccogliere materiale sparso su internet e a comprare libri vari senza risultati a mio parere soddisfacenti. Questo corso è esattamente quello che cercavo: è perfetto sia per affrontare il concorso sia per migliorarmi come insegnante di lingua. In particolare, mi ha colpito per l'organizzazione del materiale, che è eccellente, e la qualità delle video-lezioni, che incuriosiscono e riescono a tenere alta l'attenzione .
