“The practical part of the webinar was just as engaging as the theoretical one, with useful practical examples of adaptation techniques. It would be even greater if it was a bit less theoretical at the beginning, and include even more specific techniques/strategies from the linguistic point of view. But it was already great knowledge squeezed in a relatively short time. Thank you!”
