Translation blog for language learning
Hello everybody! I woke up with this idea in my mind. I find the langblr community very motivating and super useful with the multitude of tips you all post both in your native and target languages, but looking at those endless lists of words, I realised that maybe something is missing.
Learning a language becomes easier reading real texts than just trying to learn vocabulary and/or grammatical rules by heart. For this reason, I thought we could make a Translation Blog where a text/article about any topic - taken from the Web or originally edited(?) - is published in English and translated into other languages by native (or non-native) speakers from the langblr community.
Everyone could collaborate and submit their translation to let the learners of their language see how the TL is actually used - with its grammatical structures, vocabulary, fixed and idiomatic expressions. Maybe the translator could add a note where they mention particular structures and use of language in order to help learners.
It would help both the translator and the readers to improve their knowledge of their respective TLs, but also people who like writing original texts and see how they would in another language.
In addition, it would be a way to meet new people allover the community, since we could make a chat group to collaborate and help each other with the translation and propose new texts to publish.
I don't know if I managed to explain it well (lol) or to "inspire" you, but if someone thinks is a good idea, then comment or just send me a PM.
