Translation activity
During this task we both realized that there are a lot of differences between Spanish and English (besides the obvious), we couldn’t translate everything straight to the English language without making it sound a bit computerized or dumb.
We had a harder time trying to set order to our sentences than when we translated the actual words, also we discovered that not every word in the Spanish language needs to be translated, and we actually were able to skip a few words because some of them didn’t mean anything in the context of the English version of the text. Learning English clearly isn’t a tool for translations but a tool to get to know a different culture with different characteristics.
