Here’s a bit of feedback from Thursday’s intensive day of Italian. No doubt people are busy cleaning up the text, but it may be worthwhile noting stuff that I’d like to tidy up if I was doing it.Working chronologically through the text:
Sound quality of the English after “non voglio smettere di parlare con te”: “if” comes out as "“ifshsh” and this is repeated.
There may be a problem with my ears, but the first time "di più’ was presented, the “di” was indistinct and I needed the written text to work out what had been said.(Diolch byth!)
With “presto impareró di piu con te” the English version starts with “if” in the first spoken version.
The oddities of diction in English were irritating, and it took me most of the day to work out how any fluent English speaker who was not an actual slave could say things like “if soon I will learn more with you” . (Pretty naive for someone like me who’s used to working with AI generated translations, but it shows the content overall feels reasonably OK). The inappropriate “if” is repeated a number of times and is not reflected in the Italian.
Just after Aran’s indoctrination session on chunking, (sorry!) there’s an extra repetition of the student’s cue “and easily”, and I wondered if this was intentional.
The same thing happens with “adesso volevi” soon afterwards.
The AI makes a bloomer with “volevi chiederme” = “I wanted to ask me”
Sound quality: With “voglio parlare da” the woman adds an “M” to “da(m)”.
Content: “Soon are you well” Eh?
AI: “I’m sure IF I can help you” instead of “THAT I can …” /“Sono sicuro di poterte aiutare” This looks like a peculiar back-translation from the negative expression “I m not sure IF I can help you”
AI: " I think could you repeat a little more slowly?"
This is an odd question and in any case the Italian looks like a statement: Penso che potresti ripetere in po più’ …
AI: “It is important time to learn” should read "it is important TO HAVE the time to learn " OR "the time to learn is important " ( é importante il tempo per imparare)
AI: I think to find/Penso di trovare “I think of finding”, surely?
AI: “How you are doing? Como ti sta andando?” - How ARE YOU doing?"
