"The contents and materials of the course are on point and very resourceful. Much time and effort has..." Read more been put into them. I just wish that it was more tailor made on the African languages - Somali, Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Lingala and many more. I hope one day I can do a similar training on just the Healthcare Interpretation in African languages and give examples that my fellow interpreters can relate with and identify with more."
