Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
"Learning Kadazan has been a personal goal of mine for the past years, and thanks to this online conversational class, I finally had the opportunity to immerse myself in this beautiful yet endangered language in the comfort of my home. Mongingia Ivy created a welcoming and engaging environment where I felt comfortable practicing my pronunciation and grammar. I particularly appreciated the focus on practical conversations, which allowed me to apply my newfound skills in real-life scenarios. The small class size also provided an opportunity to connect with other learners and share our experiences, which made the learning process even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning Kadazan and experiencing the rich cultural heritage it represents."
