Honestly, the person talking needs to simplify some of these down. She says words in the beginning of a video, and tells you what it is later. (e.g. An expression is any combination of values and operations that can be used to show how things belong together) She tells you what an expression, values, and operations later in the video. Rather than telling you what it is beforehand so you know what she's talking about. It's not a really good teaching video. I didn't 'learn' anything from it. It needs to be simplified down to where ANYONE can understand it. If a 14 year old can't understand this, than who can?

This person needs to work on his/her English. For example, "Rather" should not begin a new sentence. It should be ...video, rather... Also, "than" in the last sentence should be "then."
