Can't Watch This
I'd love to hear the content but this guy sounds like he's talking to a first grader. Yes, it's labeled "for beginners" but it should be labeled "for toddlers" ... There's no excuse for this type of narration! Adults are the target group for this information. Grow Up! Babies DON'T MASTER SONGS.

Very very very Beginner-ish
This guys' pronunciation is so so so annoying. I have never heard any Professional guys (like MWTM or PureMix guys or other Groove3 Guys like Eli, Marcus etc) say Hiya, Maah etc and it seemed like he is faking his accents. I, otherwise, love all Groove3 courses, but I didn't like this one, sadly. Today, 15:56
