I personally find this lesson (as most of the lessons by the new hosts) has too much (bad) acting. I find that a bit distracting. Everybody knows, that Joshua (or the other hosts that play the "student" role) understood everything and knows exactly what he/she is going to say. Still they always play dum, act like they need to think about what they are going to say, say something first wrong, making constantly the facial expression as if he would not be sure about what he is saying and so on. And please don't take that personal, since you are teachers and not actors, I find the acting is very unconvincing. For me that gives a very very fake and stiff impression of the whole video. We know you are both teachers, we know you know the content of the lesson well, please don't act as if you don't.
I find the friendly, honest and relatable style of the Gwilym and Fiona lessons much more comfortable to watch.
