Mind maps can help you
to keep everything in sight, which is important when learning subtitling.

In subtitling different rules have to be applied at the same time.

Mindmaps like the ones here, but more detailed, are included in the Compact Course. They make it possible to scan all the rules even faster just before you start practising.

Audio-visual translation

Subtitling is growing ever more important worldwide, not only because the market for DVD subtitling is constantly growing. More and more people are in need of audio-visual translations because they are hearing-impaired or illiterate. In addition, Internet subtitling is becoming more and more important.

With the Compact Course you can learn subtitling in any language combination, although we advise the combination EN-Any Language as most audio-visual productions are produced in the English-speaking world.
