Google Translate: a potentially powerful tool in language learning



Google Translate



We already talked about the cool plus of knowing one or two extra languages with Duolingo, but it must be conceded that Duolingo is far from sufficient in aiding us on our longed-for journey towards become multilingual.

Take note however that Google Translate is by no means a language learning site, it is perhaps more of a dictionary that can translate words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and even whole articles or stories. But the longer and more complex the structure of the sentences that you wish to translate, the results become less accurate (sometimes even downright ridiculous).

Although if taken as a simple supplement to learning, Google Translate would be perfect.
