Translation can be a very useful tool in helping you to learn a language. It can make you think much more closely about the relationship of your language to the language you are learning. Translating also makes you think very carefully about the meaning of the text you need to translate and how to express it in your own language. Translation is also a valuable skill and one that could help you to get work. Today's activity uses a site called Social Translator where you can find lots of translated videos, and texts and some that are waiting to be translated.
