This course was much fun and insightful! I love how the words were presented, pronounced along with the visual on how to pronounce them, the definition, and the example! I must admit some of the words I have seen before. In addition to knowing where the words derived from, it was just quite delectable! Ms. Ashan continues to make her courses easy, simple, and straight to the point! Thank you; another job well done!
