  • Dull and pedantic.

    Moves slow, and feels scripted. Sort of the opposite of a good speech.

  • I want digests

    I’m a Japanese that’s learning English. I’m interested in this program but I can’t catch so much of its content.

    I wish there were digest of each session a little more in detail.

    If it’ll be so, l will be able to enjoy programs.
