What I mean by this is, for example, I am a third year Latin student and every other day I have to do a "translation" where I have to translate a passage form Latin to English. Anyone have something like that? It could help newcomers to the language understand the flow of Dovahzul and better understand the "short and sweet" nature of the language. Something I still strugle with.

You could check out the Advanced Translations section of the Learning Dovahzul PDF, if you haven't already. There are actually a lot of things in that PDF that you could translate for practice, though not all of its content has that brief and blunt quality you're looking for. I think that your best bet would be to translate the Word Walls. I can tell you from experience that it's a great exercise.

If none of that works for you, I could post some dovah quotes from the game for you to translate, or maybe even write something for you myself, if you'd like.

@Aaliizah Yeah, I've checked out the pdf and I've translated some word walls but that isn't a lot of material to use. I was curious if anyone had passages of a sort.

Here's Sleeping With Siren's "If I'm James Dean, then You're Audry Hepburn (Acoustic Version)":

I translated it myself, I hope it can be of use.

Perhaps translating poetry would be a nice exercise? Here's my thread: link

Here's a bit of a longer piece, The Tale of the Warrior Priest. Dig around the Library for some other works.

Thanks for all the help, this is extrodinary.

Maybe translating the song of the Dragon born
