It was very clear and straighforward. Steps were shown one after the other so I can easily follow it on my own.

Karen W Italy Local time: 10:48 Italian to English
mainly clear but problems with demonstration file
May 12, 2011
Started very well but then encountered a few problems because the demonstration file was not correct. A little more prior preparation could have prevented this. Otherwise the explanations were very clear so now I'll finally be able to use Wordfast properly! Now onto level 2.

"Even though, since I had understood that it began at 10:00 AM Bogota time, I have missed the webinar..." Read more's first hour, a very clear view of what word fast is about was provided by this very dedicated trainer. Furthermore, it also helped a lot that the source language was French and French together with Italian and Spanish is one of my native language. I would like to hear the complete course recording online to complete it and record it in my mind before I attend the 2nd leva, hopefully, l with the same trainer, provided that I know both languages he shall be using; i.e., source and target. Finally, I am endowed with an elephant memory and I usually do not need any help with legal terms, but I have realized that with any other topics and to work as a team with other translators not only a TM software is important but it is a must."
