  • The Advantages of Learning Spanish in an Immersion Environment  By : Kris Olivera58 Kris Olivera58
    The Advantages of Learning Spanish in an Immersion Environment

    For many reasons language immersion is superior to other language learning techniques, and students that have the opportunity to participate in an immersion program should do so.

    School classrooms whether it be primary, secondary, high school, or university level do not engage the student sufficiently to develop a need to learn the material in a proficient manner. Grammar rules are studied and learned at home with the student reading to him self or her self and not pronouncing aloud. Therefore, the student lacks the practice of actually speaking Spanish and because of this, most classroom students have bad pronunciation. Also in classroom environments the teacher is explaining rules to a group of students, many times a large group of students, and can not give much individual attention. The teacher may ask a question or two to each student, but this one minute of conversation, several times a week, is not enough to benefit the student. So again, classroom students do not have conversation practice, and even after years of studying, more often that not, they can not speak Spanish.

  • Translation & Culture  By : Neil 1 Payne
    Apart from being a critically acclaimed motion picture, ‘lost in translation’ is a phenomenon that translators the world over frequently encounter. To further discuss lost in translation, it is important to understand the meaning of the term lost in translation. For example, let’s examine the popular French term “Sacré bleu” (no profanity intended), the literal and correct English translation of Sacré bleu is “Sacred Blue” (which, as is evident makes no sense at all). However in French, Sacré bleu is a popular expression usually used to express anger. In the example above, the term completely lost its relevance in English even though the translation is perfect; essentially the term was lost in translation. It is important to note that the loss in translation occurred due to a difference in culture and not because the quality of the translation was not up to the mark.

  • Importance of translation  By : Neil 1 Payne
    Translation services are not always easily accessible or affordable. Sometimes people require a quick translation of content without spending money, or without worrying about grammar and accuracy; this is where free translation sites and software come into the picture. Free translation software uses a simple word for word approach to translate content and websites. For example, a sentence could mean “This is a mug” in French, but translation software will probably translate it as “this mug”. The problem with translation software is that, artificial intelligence (AI) has not advanced to a level where complicated concepts like cross language grammar can be understood by software. In fact, artificial intelligence as a concept still lacks the capability to tackle simpler concepts like words that have more than one meaning.

  • Learn Spanish in Spain  By : vicente vicente 21
    The only way to truly learn a language is to speak to people that use the language on a daily basis. There is no denying that languages can be learnt in a classroom, and by correspondence courses and educational cassettes. But think about it for a moment, the only place where the Queen’s English is spoken today is in ex-British colonies. Language evolves and expands to include sub-dialects and newer words over a period of time, and what no language course ever teaches anyone is the way the language is spoken in the country of origin and also the way the spoken form of the language differs from the written form.
