My second class with Denis was quite excellent, we did listening to a wonderful ted talk he shared with me and we had some questions after each part. The class was very fun, challenging and full of new vocabularies. I really liked it and benefited every single minute of it. Thanks Danie for the great class of today and look forward to our next one
