Language Learning

Learning a language is not just about using mnemonics for words, phrases, and grammar. It is also the ability to translate and read a foreign language. Here is an interesting exercise that you can do every day to get good practice.

Open the news resource of the country whose language you are learning. Find an interesting article. For example, from the economic news (they are neutral and less susceptible to propaganda).
Imagine that you also work as a journalist and review economic news. You are tasked with translating a foreign note into your native language, into your newspaper/news resource. You need to do the translation as accurately and faithfully as possible, close to the original.

  1. You have a text in a foreign language in front of you;
  2. Translate it into your language;
    1.1 Do not use translators;
    1.2 You can use a dictionary when you don’t know the words and read their meaning;
  3. You have a ready translation of the note;
    2.1 Translate your note into a foreign language;
    2.2 You can only use a dictionary;
  4. You have a translation of “your” note into a foreign language;
  5. Compare it with the original;
    4.1. Work on your mistakes;
    4.2. Memorize new words and expressions;
  6. Have fun learning languages :smiley:

You can also try it with anything, imagining yourself as a double worker-translator, heh.
