When I listen to the radio, make a telephone call, and dream, I am often unaware of which language is being spoken to me--unless I have to respond. Then I am aware.
The other day I was translating for some Americans during our morning prayer time. Suddenly our Pastor switched to speaking English, but somehow my mind did not register the change, and I continued offering translation--English to English. Brilliant.
Still, I think that it is good sign that the the balance is shifting.
That's so funny! I could possibly do that translation....although, I think it's hard to speak (coherently implied!) while listening....I'm actully not certain I could translate English to English...
ReplyDeleteHave a WONDERFUL day in whichever language you are in!
Seriously, the translation thing is really hard! I can kinda-sorta do French to English, but I totally could NOT do English to French yet.
