I think what jga meant was subtitles in English, so that he can read as well as listen. Quite often beginning students in a language can read it even though the sounds are still a jumble.

Oh, I’ve heard this one. You translate “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” into Russian, and it comes back as “The vodka is strong, but the meat is rotten!” :lol:

M doesn’t even do that for Russian, her first language.

I am trying to convince her to have a Website feature for translating common phrases into various languages and showing the literal translation back into English. For example, what would the same phrase as “Don’t let the bedbugs bite” (said to someone who is going to bed) in Portuguese be? And what would be the literal translation in English?

Wright comes from work. By putting wright on the end of something, you get the form of “-worker” with the sense of builder, e.g. shipwright is a ship builder.
