It's good practice but it's not worth the money. If it was free I wouldn't give it 5 stars either but I would give it 3.5 or 4 stars. The lessons go through items too fast. At least one of the lessons contains nothing but a video from a different sources (videos from other sources used abundantly). 2 of the quizzes are incorrect. The quiz tells you that your answer is correct but the system counts it as wrong; you have to choose a wrong answer for it to count it as correct. The intro video was not very helpful either. The intro video as well as other videos go through the material too fast; it seems the narrator is trying to keep up with the PowerPoint and not the other way around. Sometimes there are items on the slide that are not narrated because the slide moves forward too fast and the narrator has to switch to the next slide. It is unclear how certain words are pronounced because not enough emphasis was put on showing us how to pronounce. All in all I feel like I would've been able to find similar material on YouTube for free.
