  • Wow. I learned more in an hour or so than I thought I would. Concise preparation skillfully executed
    and nicely paced. A shout out to your assistant who manipulated the chat box without missing a beat.
    This is exactly what we need ... to begin to train interpreters. Bravo!

    to promote learning

    can't wait to check them out... Great job!
