I am assuming Carl is not serious, or he's showing early signs of dementia :o )
The topic here Carl is translation, translation, translation... FROM ONE LANGUAGE -- COMPLETELY OVER TO -- ANOTHER LANGUAGE, something your native Greeks had no need of, unless of course they were translating a text into English, which brings us back to the topic of thread... "TRANSLATION" strategies.
But I like your approach. I think I'll tell my English teacher that I can't understand her tests because I don't know Chinese :o p
