Has anyone used Google Translate or any other online translator? I had an interesting conversation today with a Brazilian Portuguese speaker. While I am planning to take an elementary Portuguese class in August, I think I can also teach myself the language. That brings me to my question to all Italki users: Who has used Google Translate (or any other online translator)? I find that it is a very powerful tool, plus it is so intuitive that there seems to be a mutual learning process going on. What I mean is that the more I use it, the more proficient I become, and at the same time I almost get the feeling that the program is learning to converse with me. Weird. Please let me know whether you have used this or another language program, and if so, what your impressions are.
