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

El cuestionario está en español y tienes que adivinar cual es la respuesta correcta e incluso las respuestas que marcan como correctas en español no son correctas esta todo mal.
