I was engaged with the optional exemplars for me to practice. Thank you for letting me use those. I'm using Coddy to learn on the side, but I can't use the same exercises here and over there.

The course itself was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. The instructor, not so much. It was just a person reading from a prompter with no real intonation or emotion.
