I feel like he is my friend, rather than a professor. The course itself is helpful, and I really loved all his anecdotal stories that allowed me to learn in an interesting way.

It's like buying a history book THEN complaining that learning history is so useless. ![]() If you aren't like these silly people and have a strong desire for self-improvement, then I recommend this book. These reviewers either want a bland list of vocab with their definitions (in which case you can find them for free online) or the spelling of the word (which can be found in the PDF ATTACHED yes there is one people). This is my first time giving a review and I feel like some reviews just don't do Prof Flanigan justice.Ĭan't say enough good things about this one. This is a great title to have in your audible library because it is so versatile in terms of how it can be enjoyed.allow me to explain. Some books tell a story or survey a topic in such a way that you really need to be paying attention from start to finish because if you don't, you'll struggle to keep up and that'll have a negative impact on your ability to enjoy it. Those are the kinds of titles I save for long car trips when I'm by myself. This course could easily be enjoyed if given that level of attention, but it's not at all necessary. This is my favorite kind of background noise (for lack of a better term). You can have it e in-and-out of different stages of paying attention and still occasionally pick up a thing or two for your vocabulary.
