However, I hesitate to recommend you this video for the following reasons.

- He talks about very basic things and nothing about practical tips.

-The sound quality is not good enough to listen with the internal speaker of my note PC and I had to connect an external one.

- Speaking speed is variable, sometimes too slow. In addition, some words (even important ones that I absolutely wanted to listen) are not pronounced in clear way (too low) and I had troubles to follow.

- During the presentation, I heard a phone ringing twice, which I think are very distracting.

On the whole, it was different from what I expected and I am a bit dissatisfied. ▲ Collapse
