Llevaba años estancado en ese nivel intermedio en el que entiendes casi todo pero no terminas de soltarte. Este curso fue justo lo que necesitaba para romper esa meseta. Las explicaciones de gramática avanzada y las expresiones más naturales me ayudaron a sonar mucho menos rígido al hablar. Me encantó la parte de comunicación moderna, con vocabulario que de verdad se usa hoy en día. Ahora me animo a participar en reuniones en inglés sin pensar cada palabra. Un avance enorme en mi confianza.
