      O curso de Barbara é excelente. O que não é nada excelente é a prática da plataforma DOMESTIKA ao utilizar meus dados bancarios para efetuar uma compra de assinatura plus, que me causou um prejuizo de mais de R$ 1000 sem a minha autorização. Pelo que pesquisei online essa tem sido uma prática recorrente que já prejudicou muitas outras pessoas. Fiquem atentos à cobranças deste site.

      The pace is too fast. Some language barriers. Not what I expected.
