I live in a country that doesn’t speak english. Trust me when i say it isn’t cheating using a translator. Until you’re conversationally fluent you’re going to confuse or not understand a lot of words/phrases. For me it was best to carry a translator or dictionary until i understood most of what was said. Now i figure stuff out by context or asking questions about the word i don’t know.
I’m trying to browse materials in the languages that I wish to learn, and use a translator when I don’t understand them. Feels like cheating…
It’s not cheating when you’re learning for yourself👍

If you have access to the app DeepL (iOS App Store in the US for me), i really enjoy using it when I’m in a pinch!
