“Thank you for the amazing session yesterday! I learned a lot from you and the courses provided on the PlayAid website. Especially the part where I panicked and didn't know how to ask 'Sam' questions, you provided me ideas. And when we swap the characters, your way of asking questions really went smoothly, which gave me a clear idea about how to do it properly. Big appreciation to you! ”
