For anyone here that speaks a second language,

Try Babelfish’s latest invention

[link=Babel Fish]http://babelfish.altavista.com/" style="COLOR: #ff6633[/link]

And have a good laugh…

It is really funny how an automated system “thinks” it should translate stuff

Example:

“I am bored at work today”

Translates to German as

“Ich werde an der Arbeit gebohrt“

Which means as much as

I am getting drilled (with a drill bit) at work


Ingo

PS: I guess I am bored at work today

"I am very bored" in italian is "Molto sono annoiato", which, translated back into english is...

"A lot is bored"





Babel Fish doesn't translate very good

now we know why the grades are the way they are

I don't know how well it works, gonna have to call a buddy up and try to read it to her and get her laughing at my attempts of german again

OK I know for a fact that didn't work well at all when I did it in reverse

"loodje" is a small round piece of lead with a cut through the middle. You squeeze it shut on your fishing line to keep the sinker at the proper level in the water (and your bait down below).

since it was brought back from the dead a month ago, does this mean i'm bringing it only out of a coma now?

Anyways I have to say I've been using this, this year makes things a lot simpler on my brain to translate stuffes for the Beginning ESL students as well as notes home

So here I go again:%)I've got a wonderful curriculum for working with the students and getting to know them one on one...the videos they are to watch are in Spanishthis means I get my own set and don't have to sharenow why wouldn't they send the worksheets/discussion sheets in Spanish

Gotta go translate themoh well:%)
