You don't believe the vast majority of language teaching happens at the beginner level? I certainly do, and it would be most people's only first-hand exposure to any kind of translation.
- signal11 6y agoI should clarify that by beginner-level I meant "alphabet book level". A for apple, B for balai, C for conejo, etc. At beginner level language teaching, beyond the first few lessons, you run into words that are difficult to translate bijectively, e.g. ser/estar while learning Spanish from English.
