You're going to be listening to this person for a long time so you want to feel comfortable with the way they talk. Louay is awesome. The entire time I spent learning (and it was little bits mostly every day) it was like you were in a proper class with one of your friends showing you how to do things. He's got a great sense of humour and doesn't go so fast it's all a blur. I'm in no ways an expert on After Effects now, but I have a really good grounding to keep going. Highly Recommended!!!
