Fue un curso muy completo en el que pude aprender no solo de la correcta pronunciación de las palabras, sino también de su escritura y la importancia de las acentuaciones en cada una de las palabras.

The best free course I've ever had. So easy to memorize and because it's taught by native, I easily can differentiate the tones. I'm going to the next lesson because this is super helpful for me.
