Es un poco caotico. Si no has apuntado todos los conceptos que aparecen durante los diferentes apartados o tienes una memoria increible, tendras que volver atras en las paginas en varias ocasiones. Recomiendo que empiecen el curso con un cuaderno para anotar todas las palabras y frases nuevas en su vocabulario.
