Reading the wordy context is not so easy while listening to foreign accent English.
I don't know why most of viewers give 4 or 5 stars maybe because they viewed when it was still new.
I can hardly recommend this (3 stars) for follow translation starters. I will purchase other similar video by Oleg Ludavin.
