What I meant by "has a translation" is using Onelook and not google! Put it this way, If I have to waste 1 minute searching for a word then I just leave it when it's a little hard to translate, and again get back to it later and do the same, I'd be wasting more time than if I had to spend 5 minutes to immediately translate or at least comment on what it could mean as a later reference. > > I was thinking, why don't you work on the multiple > > translation part, while I concentrate on new > words? > > I could dear Osama but rest assured it won't be as > fun or as fast when 2 do the task.
