Amazingly explained, this helped me a lot. I have an exam of translation studies coming. At first I was intimidated by reading the notes given by the university but your explanation made it so much easier. I am also learning Spanish on the side, and coming across your channel is a blessing in disguise. Thank you for your content I will continue learning even after my exam is over.
