OLD POND FROG JUMPING IN SOUND OF WATER
GOOGLE TRANSLATE CAN READ PHOTOS.
The Miracle of Google Translate! I can’t speak a word of Japanese. Luckily, I met some people that could speak English. I learned that the Asian people want to learn English, but they have their hands full with three written languages, Hirokami, Katana, and Chinese. The first two have 46 syllables each. The Chinese has 3,000 symbols. Meanwhile Google translate can read images, like menus and monuments, as well as allow me to speak English and share either written or spoken Japanese. I became very reliant on my phone for this reason. I met a fellow that is part of the Haiku society. He taught me my first Haiku, an old and famous one. I used Google translate to understand him.
