Hi,

Congratulations for your post, one month ago I was subscribe for this course in Edx. But unfortunatly my job and how English isn't my native language that results in me to shut down this project, when I read your post entusiasm me for try again.

Please do you think the language it's a limit if you are not a native speaker? I think that because for me it's complicate the videos.

Thank you so much.

Hi, thanks for reading the post!

I feel you - enrolling in this course while having a full-time job is not easy. I used to spend nearly a month doing one week's worth of coursework, since I only have time on weekends. Because of the whole self-isolation situation, I've had more time recently πŸ˜…

As for the language aspect, I think it really depends on how comfortable you are listening to English lectures. I don't know if you're aware, but the videos have closed captions (subtitles) which may help if you're having trouble catching what they're saying.

Best of luck if you decide to give it another try!
