Here are a few reasons why- and you can replace “Google Translate” with “Alexa” or any other AI translator throughout.
However, make no mistake: if connecting well with people is the point of your language learning journey (and how can it not be?), Google Translate will fail you and actually learning a language is still a whole lot better. There’s no doubt- computers are better all the time, and Google Translate does work, often. And every year, the beginning of the school year triggers a slew of language teachers trying to share how “bad” Google Translate is by running a text through several languages and then back into English (because we would do that… when?). Thinking Google Translate means you (or your child) won’t need a language learning experience? To be sure, Google Translate has helped us in a lot of ways like enabling language access to local government info, radically improving world travel, and even disseminating COVID-19 information.
