Exercices de traduction
A classic way to practice your language skills is by translating passages from one language to another. Take a look at this selection of resources and put your translation skills to work, in both directions.
Note: Translation is an art, not a science.
There is virtually always more than one way to translate any given word or phrase, so don’t worry if your translation doesn’t exactly match the one provided: it probably won’t. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong – use common sense to recognize synonyms and different ways to explain the same thing.*
