This was a good course for me. I had no problem understanding the material and what I was supposed to do. I just have some problems with navigating the site.

This is a very good course especially since it has been years since I have studied grammar. Ashan is a clear speaker. She does not talk too fast and is easy to understand. I enjoyed the course immensely!

The lessons were clear and the examples were easy to understand. The voice was a little "robotic" in particular the parts from 2019.

This was perfect for me. I am an adult learner and I have been out of school for quite some time. Grammar Essentials 101 is exactly that; it's broken down to the basics of English grammar. I love the way Professor Hampton explains it but doesn't make you feel dumb in the process. She is easy to understand and explains things very well. Overall, I was very pleased with the course, the layout, and the material. I will be looking at more of her courses soon.
