I loved taking this course! The teacher is amazing in explaining everything clearly and with lots of examples! I learned a lot! The hardest part for me has beem writing the assignments: they are Chi-Eng and Eng-Chi translations of various lenghth and I'm not a native of neither of the two. Neverthless, I took them as a new challenge and tried my best to complete them. Thank you very much for offering this great course!

The teacher of this course is indeed very awesome! I have learned tons in this course. I love each courses for it specific purposes and translation skills. The peer review parts is amazing as well, from which I can learn a lot from my classmates. Love this course a lot indeed. Thank you Teacher!

The best free course I've ever had; made for both understanding the limitations and widening the possibilities of translation. Although this is largely geared towards Chinese audience, in principle it still offers a useful guide that remains universally applicable.

This course helped me to understand the importance of translation, basics of translation, and types of different translations.

I really like how the course is structured. Also, it gives a lot of basics of translations. However, I do feel there isn't enough feedback from teacher and peers. I completed 2 weeks' assignment, but barely received feedback, which somewhat discouraged me. Good course for beginners, won't recommend for those who aim to improve the skills.

PLEASE state in the presentation that it is necessary to master the Chinese language and that there will be many translations tasks that require to be fluent in both English and Chinese. Many of us did not know it and it makes for a very frustrating experience and course !

I cant continue the course because there is translation examples between English and Chinese, and I dont know Chinese lang.

I did not forget COURSERA! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! All courses are great! All you are the best! thanks a lot so i gave this review and my five stars!

ever

I'm so gratefull to be stumbled in the information about this course. I'm able to arrange my own schedule, it is the way to discipline and challenge my self, to be commited to the schedule that I arrange for my self. The subjects that I have earned here, are the important needs that I've been looking for to elevate my skill and ability in this field. Even it is specialized for Chinesse to English or vise versa, but theoritically is very applicable for all target and source language. Now, my conffidence is boosted to continue my journey to build and grow my career in translation. Big thank to all of the people who have made this course available, I do appreciate it. Thank you in so many times.

O curso realmente é útil. Não é algum tipo de guia definitivo da profissão ou um passo a passo de como realizar seu trabalho, mas ensina técnicas que a princípio não são óbvias e utiliza bons exemplos para demonstrar o processo. Sim, algumas coisas estão em chinês, mas isso é somente um detalhe, o que você realmente vai precisar saber vai ser dito em Inglês e o curso também possui legendas em português. Boa sorte aos que forem fazer.

A perfect course for a budding translator looking for a place to start. If I could fix anything, I would vary the homework translation topics more (for a few assignments in a row, there was a slew of Buddhism-related translations). Grading others' homework to see other solutions helped me just as much as the lectures.

Great course. It helps to print out the assignments, and have those in front of you as you watch the relevant videos. Week 3 assignments were difficult to get done. Helps to have access to a C-E Buddhist dictionary (the free one available in Pleco isn't very useful).

I'm so happy with my professional qualification, I would like to thank the Coursera Team and the Nanjing University for this opportunity, that change my professional life to better, thank you masters!

我对自己的职业资格感到非常满意，感谢Coursera团队和南京大学给我这个机会，让我的职业生涯变得更好，谢谢大师们！

Instructor(proffesor) Yuan Yao is the best ! ! All of her videos are very proficient, precise, comprehensive, compelling etc. The assignments are a bit time comsuming-for me, but it will be all worth the effort, at the end. Thank you Yuan Yao.

I loved the course, I thank all that planned the course for the variety of coursework and so much more! I wish there were dedicated sections for people who are not yet as fluent in Mandarin, to work on certificate towards other languages.

I want to thank Nanjing University for offering this course. It has really given me practical advice to improve my translation skills and technique. I would like to take a more advance version of the translation course, if available.

I can't believe that courses like these come free of charge. This is seriously valuable for someone like me - a freelancer who doesn't currently have the opportunity to have academic education. Thank you so much!

The best online course I have ever seen. Very interactive, and the course is very well explained. At the end, you are really able to do some translation works. Thank you Prof Yuan Yao.

The course "Translation in Practice" offered by Nanjing University was of great importance and commitment. I want to thank Nanjing University for this opportunity!

A beautiful and challenging course. Even though I don't speak Chinese I benefited from insights and approaches. Quality course if you know Chinese.

I think this online course is very interesting to me. And it open a door for me to learn how to translate.

This course is so comprehensive and engaging. It helped me update and master the translation skills.

As a beginner in translation, I have learnt a lot from the course. It is very practical and useful.

I enjoyed these lectures, plus the teacher, she is so intelligent with a lot of exp.
