This is a clip from an Instagram live of mine ( / weilatom ) where I respond to a comment about playing what I call the “Translation Game”, when you try to figure out how to say something in the language you’re studying.
Whether you do it out loud to yourself or just run through it in your mind, you’re not alone in doing things like this! In fact, it’s really useful and fun.
Focus not only on words, but phrases. We speak in phrases all the time and context helps us to draw connections sometimes better than when we think of words on their own.
When in doubt, just do what I do - make words up! Check out how in this video I was trying to figure out how to say “strange” in Portuguese and managed to figure it out by thinking of a larger context.
