What's up Doc? -
I think it's more natural to go with the flow and not putting to much thought into the exact words. This is more about going with the meaning of the subject at hand.

I imagine that it would be tricky because it's a matter of going with the flow and pros, not with the literal word. Google and see if you could find any transulations already made in English for your poem. I hope this helps.

What are your thoughts on google translate?
pftsusan replied to Cutler4Life's topic in Translations (Theory & Practice)

Thank you for sharing the link. I looked up:" A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". It means that it's better to have lesser, but the probility of having more could be greater or nothing at all. The historic meaning refers to the mid-evil Falconry where the bird is a valiable asset and certainly worth more than two in the bush.

Why Spanish is a Language worth learning?
pftsusan replied to betita03's topic in Spanish Language | Discussion
Today, in learning Spanish, you have many more jobs open to you. Bilinqual is a plus in this society. There are many Spanish speaking people, who have a hard time in learning American English. Some are not applying themselves as they should, but for others who work very hard at it, it's difficult for themat first. -
I would like to learn more Spanish. This because there is a need where I live, for Spanish people, who don't understand the American English and they need someone to teach it to them.

Profanity and Learning English
pftsusan replied to asiong123's topic in English Language | Discussion
Yes, it's very important to learn the profanity. This is so you can make a choice to remove yourself from the situation if you are uncomfortable with it or redirect someone to another topic. Then if you like it, you will be able to take part in the discussion. An added advantage, if you are mad at someone who doesn't like profanity, you can cuss them out in another language that they don't know. Learning the profanity, allows you the speaker to make informed decisions.
