Importance
of translation
Dear students,
If English is your second
language, then translation from your native language to English and vice versa
is essential to understand the English language.
Your first language is our
mother tongue. It took us practice of many years to command our mother
language. In our childhood we learnt many words and sentence structures by
imitating others. We repeated each new word literally hundreds of times.
For learning our second
language we need not go through same process because of two reasons.
·
First, our cognitive and grasping powers have
improved.
·
Secondly we already know one language.
It is good to learn English
by comparing it with our first language. Best way is to translate
some sentences of English into our mother language and observe and feel the
differences in syntax of the sentences.
Each language has its own history of evolution. This decides its vocabulary,
style and literature. Since all languages grow in different conditions, they
are bound to be different from one another just like differences in various
cultures of the world. But we will also find similarities in languages at many
places. This is again due to socio- economic and cultural interaction of
societies and cultures. In translation we should look for these differences and
similarities in English and our mother language.
Enjoy Learning.
