this is all bunch of amateur level of knowledges that you can find in any books or YouTube videos. she is basically talking about 'well dah~' thingy for like 5 min and says 'see you next week'. Are you kidding me. If you watched more about 100 movies read some books, you don't need this class. Plus, she talks like 11 years old girl.
