The class is awesome, but English subtitles are insanely bad, I had to watch it at 0.5 speed and pause all the time just trying to de-code the concoction words that was on the screen. If you speak Spanish - no problem, but for the rest of us it is just so bad.
Nevertheless, the information is super cool and I learned a lot.
