    Here is some feedback from others on this course's trainer:

    "I personally consider it very useful not only for freelancers just making entering the wonderful world of linguistic service but for all the professional considering to swap the 40-hour in-house schedule for something more flexible. And it's not just the content full of really good tips but also the easy and absorbing form of narration that make it highly advisable for all those fascinated with languages."
    Mikhail Abramkin

    "Some great ideas and a real confidence booster!"
