Buen curso. Las explicaciones son fáciles de seguir si bien la profesora no cuenta con un vocabulario amplio. Podrían dar referencias de dónde encontrar los materiales en otros países ya que de lo contrario el curso estaría dado solo para el país al que pertenece la docente.
Auxiliooo! alguien sabe donde comprar el papel italiano en Colombia? Ojala en Medellín
