MadmaxxxMaSiDe Posted December 31, 2023 at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 at 01:04 PM I thought I´d literally find almost anything online, but I cannot find any Chinese to English (or German or Spanish) ONLINE course. Does anyone have any recommendation? (And it doesn´t have to be a course providing any official certification.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cncorrect Posted January 1, 2024 at 07:21 AM Report Share Posted January 1, 2024 at 07:21 AM Do you want to translate from Chinese to English? I believe that it is best for a native Chinese speaker and a native English speaker to cooperate. The job consists of two parts. First, you need to understand Chinese well. Second, you can write well in English. If you are a native English speaker, I can help you with the comprehension part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadmaxxxMaSiDe Posted January 1, 2024 at 12:18 PM Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2024 at 12:18 PM Thanks for your answer, but I’m really just looking for such a course out of sheer interest. Lately I’m imterpreting on a voluntary basis, but am not planning to do it professionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this one: Translation in Practice Course (NJU) | Coursera Taught by Nanjing University. You have to register with Coursera. It's for beginners but assumes knowledge of Mandarin. You can take the whole course with marked assignments, certificate, etc. for a fee (don't know how much is it now, it used to be fairly accessible), alternatively just follow the teaching sessions for free. There is an OU branch of the Confucius Institute that runs events, lectures, book club etc in Eventbrite, and may also be organizing OU courses, but they have gone ominously quiet since last November.
