better to buy the lessons, rather than subscribe
I like being able to practice out loud, and repeat lessons as many times as I need to. I first tried the monthly subscription, which didn't work for me, because I could only play the lessons at normal speed. For people over 50, we need more time to process information. instead, I bought the lessons as an audiobook, rather than subscribing to the monthly course, I was able to slow down the audio to 75% speed, which is much better for learning. The monthly course is expensive, so the company should add a feature to the app for longer pauses. but ... now that I have purchased the lessons, I can learn at a better pace for me, and I really like the program. (the 'date of experience' is ongoing. I've been using the program for over a month.
