Wish there were subtitles and the teacher's volume is too low, a little bit of enthusiasm would be appriciated

It would be nice to have subtitles and general knowledge on video production, and the sound quality is a bit weak. But besides that, the teaching was informative, structured, well explained and generally helpful. I enjoyed the experience a lot. Thank you!
