Suzanne is very professional, explains things in such a way that everyone understands. Maybe I should have tried a higher level as I had already known all the terminology mentioned in the presentation, however, I find the materials like glossaries etc. very useful and I´ll definitely use them in my practice.

Again disappointed, like with course 101. Here's what Suzanne says at the beginning of the video: 'this is not a specialized course, (...) this is really a very basical overview for people who have no exposure or very little exposure to legal translation and law in general'. I think that's what should be stated VERY CLEARLY on the course page before we purchase it. This is indeed very basic and general, I hardly learnt anything useful. On top of that, audio quality is quite poor, with a lot of background noise.
