Free Sample: Translation Drill

You will hear an English sentence. Your job is to respond with the Spanish translation. If you’re a beginner, this may be difficult because you have not yet learned the words. Keep in mind that when you are actually doing the course, by the time you get to the translation drills, you will have already completed a lot of other practice activities with the same words and phrases, and so it will be a lot easier for you.
