May 25, 2011, 08:35 AM posted in General DiscussionHello All,
Recently, in a bid to fend off learning boredom and switch up the old routine a bit I have decided to start reading and translating some small news articles.
I will post the first article below to share the fruit of my labour with everyone.
While translating I decided to write out the meaning for each new word as it appears. Repeated words were not relisted.
This is my first translation so may be a bit off in places. It took me a long time to get through but I am hoping that will speed up over time as I expect to hit similar vocab if I stick to Football news for a bit.
Enjoy, and please let me know if you spot any errors.
If manage to get something out of this I might even make a group out of it.
Cheers
