Honesty, my biggest problem is understanding flexbox, and you, my friend, literally made one of the simplest tutorials ever. +1 Sub.

I have learned more with you than all brazillian portuguese speakers that I have seen. Congratuations. You have a real gift to teach. Greetings from brazil

[@WebDevSimplified]

Thank you so much! I am really glad my video and teaching style was able to resonate with you even with the language barrier. That is one thing I always worry about in my videos is that I speak too fast or use too many terms that non-native English speakers may not fully understand.

[@danilopriscilla1934]

​@@WebDevSimplified As we see, your concern and consequently careness about the language issue is working :) God bless you my friend. Thxs for all this effort.

[@nidzeksmocni659]

The main reason why your videos are the best is that you try to simplify as much as possible, you make sentences shorter without additional unnecessary information(It is basically the key when teaching someone) . You are the coolest and smartest guy i've ever seen!

[@skylarw19]

Awesome tutorial! Loved that you mentioned screen readers go off of the HTML order, rather than CSS order. I definitely didn't know that and think it's great to know to make sure the things we create are accessible!
