Advanced Spanish Language and Culture an advanced six-week class delivered in Spanish.

As I've already described on the first page of the thread, it turned out to be mediocre. I wrote a quick review here, and there's one more independent opinion over there. I'm glad I dropped this course :P

Introduction to Dutch a three-week introductory course from the University of Groningen.

Finally trying out this one too. I clicked "authentic audio samples" and got "authentic samples from learners around the world". LOL. (At least one of the students is from Zagreb <3)

But that's more of a terminology inconsistency. The course itself is nice for sure. I've discovered that I don't mind traditional dialogues if I can watch them as a video (I guess that's why I liked Destinos too).

Seems like a fairly standard course really. The description claimed to emphasize reading and listening, but again that's a far cry from what we refer to as listening from the beginning.

Still, thanks for the rec :) A great thing about FutureLearn is that the courses are available indefinitely. (I've also started one about the Hadrian's Wall in English...)

edit: wrote a short review and gave it 4 stars
