Why is there no translation?

Surely there should be an English translation at the end?

Hola Nicola J.

Thanks for your question!

We haven’t included English translations at the end of dictation exercises so far for pedagogical reasons: the focus of these exercises is to train listening and writing in the target language (in this case, Spanish), so we deliberately avoid translation to encourage immersion and help learners think directly in the language.

That said, we really appreciate your suggestion and will certainly consider it as we continue to improve the exercises!

Best wishes,
Silvia
