Spanish Translation (Foundation)

​Read through the text first

It's such simple advice, but it's so useful! Reading through the text without writing anything down helps get your head where it needs to be.

Tenses on lock!

Make sure your tenses are 100% secure. Again, seems simple, but so many marks are lost through incorrect tenses! In the exam, go through and highlight your verbs according to what tense they are.

Take it one sentence at a time.

You don't need to tackle the whole thing in one go. Take things one sentence at a time, and the workload is much more manageable.

​A mi hermana le gusta bailar, pero yo soy aficionado a la natación.

Take the time to polish.

A first translation doesn't need to be a perfect translation. Give a rough go, take some time away, and come back to it. Does anything look weird?
