I found this site by
accident. It is an interesting site where the aim is to collect
sentences translated into several languages. Tatoeba
in Japanese means “for example”. According to the Stats
page there are now 94 languages. There are 1097953 sentences in
total. English has over 200000 sentences and Chinese Mandarin has
32000. The search engine for the site is excellent. For my learning I
am able to search in Chinese and English simultaneously. I can
filter, add to favourites, add to lists and find random sentences.
There is an excellent forum and discussion in many languages. It is
possible to join the site, contribute and stay informed on the
translations. The sentences seem to moderated by native speakers so
there is validity and authenticity for the project. You can even
adopt “orphan” sentences. I found this very useful to supplement
my course textbook. So I think the Tatoeba
Project is an excellent learning / teaching community.
