Thing 12



Google Translator: 
Let's see JUST how good it is...muahaha!


My name is Megan and I should have done this a long time ago.


Latin (generated by Google): Nomen meum est et ego feci Megan olim.


"should have done" is translated in the indicative mood when it needed to be translated in the subjunctive mood. Olim is not the best translation either; I accept it but it is poor word choice.  It is usually translated as "once".  Finally, the translator neglected to translate "this". 


This is useful for more advanced students; the class could correct Google translator as an assignment. 


Google Calendar:
I use google calendar to send the week's assignments, quizzes, and tests to my students and their parents via email. Here is a link to one of my calendars:
