WHAT IS TRANSLATION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
According to Webster:
The act or process of translating
something into a different language
What does REAL translation look like?
What REAL translation IS NOT!
• A QUICK and EASY process, with only ONE
outcome.
• Putting ISOLATED Latin sentences into
English.
• KNOWING the definition of EVERY word in a
sentence. You only need a dictionary to know
that information!
What REAL translation IS!
• An ART, one that requires TRAINING, great
EFFORT, and TIME to achieve.
• Transferring a CONTINUOUS narrative from
one language into another the best way you can.
There CAN BE more than one CORRECT
translation!
• KNOWING as MANY WORDS as possible.
When you see a word that you do not know,
AND THIS WILL HAPPEN, DO NOT STOP
TRYING. REMAIN METNALLY STRONG.
At this stage of your Latin journey, this reality
is why it is so very important for you to study
EXACTLY what passages I tell you to study.
