PROJECT ON HOLD - Interpreter Training Commenting

PROJECT ON HOLD

Right now, there is a great need for court interpreter in Philadelphia for languages like Vietnamese and Korean. I want to build an website to help people study for these test. I have the content to study for the English court interpreter test. I would love to chat with someone in education or a designer or UX to figure out how to build this. Feel free to email me at nhu313@gmail.com to chat about this. The website I have built with my teammate is usable, but I think it could be better.
