Sinopse

Funny Translation Fails explores the often humorous, sometimes disastrous, world of mistranslation, highlighting the pivotal role accurate language plays in our globalized society. The book demonstrates how translation errors can stem from simple vocabulary mishaps or deeper cultural misinterpretations, leading to unexpected consequences in various fields. For example, a mistranslated marketing slogan can damage a brand's image, while a diplomatic faux pas can strain international relations.

 
The book adopts an engaging approach, progressing from fundamental translation concepts to real-world case studies drawn from advertising, diplomacy, and more. It examines different categories of "translation fails," such as literal translations that yield humorous results and cultural misunderstandings that skew intended meanings. By providing insights from linguists and cultural experts, Funny Translation Fails offers both entertainment and practical guidance for anyone interested in language learning and global communication.

 
Ultimately, this book emphasizes the importance of culturally sensitive communication. It showcases how a keen understanding of language nuances can help avoid embarrassing blunders and facilitate smoother interactions in an increasingly interconnected world. The book serves as both a cautionary tale and an entertaining guide, demonstrating the power of accurate translation in shaping our global culture.

    We broke our new series on learning Dutch down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Dutch.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Dutch decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Dutch speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Dutch. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Dutch at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Dutch, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    1. Asking about family 
    2. Asking about relationship status 
    3. Expressing frequency 
    4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies
