Today, we're going to be talking about translation programs and apps.

And how they never help you learn English

This is a really helpful video, so keep watching.

Translation programs and apps like google translate are good

when you want to get kind of a sense or an idea of some text.

I've used it before when I get a text or an email in another language.

I can just quickly copy and paste it into Google Translate

And find out the general idea of what the person is talking about.

However, using these kinds of translation programs

will not help you improve your English conversation ability.

One way that I can see that's very clear is when my students try to use these translation

programs in their writing or in their presentations,

it's very obvious that they simply typed or wrote something up

in their own language and then plugged it into Google Translate.

It comes out wacky and crazy.

The English does not make sense and it just sounds weird.

So my tip for you is to not rely on these

translation programs and apps.

Get away from them as much as you can.

They're good in a hurry when you just want to get a sense of some text,

but they are not good for improving your English conversation ability.

So stay away from these translation programs as much as you can.

They are not going to help you improve your English conversation skills.

I always know which of my students has used a translation program or app.

It might seem tempting because it's quick and easy but the English is not good.

And a teacher always knows which students have used

this kind of translation program.

So I believe in you guys if you just try hard and put in the effort.

That is going to help improve your English conversation skills.
