In the lesson on Goroutines and channels, you say:

Concurrency is the task of running and managing the multiple computations at the same time. While parallelism is the task of running multiple computations simultaneously.

You're essentially saying that concurrency and parallelism are the same, which I'm sure you know is not the case.

This Stack Overflow answer provides a concise explanation of the difference between them. Rob Pike's talks "Concurrency is not Parallelism" and "Go Concurrency Patterns" also discuss the topic further.
