Welcome to the World of Translation

I welcome all of you to the world of translation. As this blog states, it is called Learning Translation and I plan to make it into an online learning portal that will focus on how to study and learn translation as also to improve and strengthen one's linguistic skills.

Best wishes and enjoy.
