Just did module 14 and 15 back to back, and I gotta say, this short module was such a well needed break.

100% worth listening to in full, brilliant teacher, thank you very much.

It took a minute to get used to the accent, but holy cow these videos are stellar! If I had a job I'd give you a tip, but I'm a student. Likes and Sub will have to do for now!

I love the content of all these videos!

One frustration I have, and maybe its been addressed in the last 10 months since this series was put together, is your audio is quiet compared to the ad rolls. It makes it quite jarring to have to turn you up significantly and then get blown out by an ad multiple times in the video. Uploading videos with your audio louder will help that issue.

thanks for the work!
