Episode description

Even some advanced students can't ditch the habit of translating every single word.


In this episode, we talk about:


1. The reasons why people translate every word (and keep that habit)

2. Why you should not translate the word order. Examples of miscommunication

3. The exercises you can do instead to improve your vocabulary and your listening comprehension skills

4. Things you can try in case you read a book and you do not understand some words. A step-by-step scenario of what you can do instead of rushing to Google translate

5. Examples! Lots of examples from real situations that demonstrate what can go wrong and how to fix it.


This is a conversation between Natalia Tokar and Jason Farrell.
