Have questions about language learning? Ethan and Ben have answers! In this clip, they tackle the question: "How useful is translation?"
Specifically, they wanted to know how useful translation is for practicing output. Generally, as immersion learners we shy away from translating because the goal is to have a natural instinct for the language and not rely on translating.
But are there some cases where translation is a useful exercise that can help you reach that goal--or is it just a waste of time? Tune in to find out!
