Google Translate: What a Delight

I am still quite far away from perfect fluency in Slovene, and read much slower in my second language than in my first. However, I know that it's good for me to not be lazy and try to understand; to break down words, to read carefully without using a translator. So why do I still use Google translate?

Hi, Nicole!

Thank you for PowerPoint. Considers it very much.
I would like, if you are involved from:

- How are the people - the Americans had a seizure?

- What has this changed? (in people's lives)

- Or the Americans today remember this event? How?

You can have more than 25 minutes.

I suggest that you start to watch you. I thought I would start to look at an excerpt from the film - Attack on Pearl Harbor, but I really like this.

Can we continue this in your DB?
Have fun.
