English prepositions—those “green monsters” that intimidate so many of us when learning the language. How and when should we use them? These are some of the most common questions English learners ask. Regardless of your level or experience, prepositions in English can be tricky. That’s mainly because we’re not always 100% sure when or how to use them correctly.

But don’t worry—today, through Talkao’s English lessons, we’re going to tackle these “little monsters” and show you they’re not so scary after all. Once you understand the correct usage of English prepositions, you’ll realize they’re actually quite simple. Plus, we’ll walk you through practical exercises that show how useful they really are for improving your English fluency.

Even better, you’ll see how prepositions are essential tools in everyday conversation. Far from being just a grammar rule, they’re key elements for expressing ideas clearly and naturally in English.

To make things even easier, we’ll show you how AI-based predictive translation can be a powerful tool when learning English prepositions. Talkao’s voice and text recognition features help you not only translate, but also understand the context and usage of each preposition.

What are prepositions in English? Understanding their grammatical function

If you’re learning English, chances are you’ve already come across these small yet powerful words. Small in size, yes—but essential for connecting ideas and giving meaning to your sentences. We’re talking about prepositions. Although they’re often underestimated due to their length, prepositions play a crucial role in both grammar structure and everyday comprehension.

In the first lesson of Talkao’s English course, you’ll discover exactly what prepositions in English are, how they function, and how to use them correctly in daily conversation. You’ll learn that mastering prepositions can make a big difference in your fluency and, more importantly, in your ability to communicate clearly and effectively.

But before we dive into usage, let’s start from the beginning…

What are English prepositions?

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other elements in a sentence. These relationships can express place, time, direction, cause, manner, and more.

In English, the most common types of prepositions relate to place, time, and movement—the latter being a unique category that’s not always emphasized in other languages. Another key point: English prepositions are invariable, meaning they don’t change form and are always followed by a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase.

Here are some of the most commonly used prepositions in English:

of
in
on
at
to
from
with
about
for

Although these are frequently used in daily sentences, they’re not the only prepositions—nor necessarily the most important. With Talkao’s language recognition technology, you’ll learn that every preposition matters, and with AI-powered predictive translation, you’ll also learn how to use them properly.

Why are prepositions so important in English grammar?

If you’re committed to learning English in a structured, effective way, certain grammar elements deserve special attention—and prepositions are one of them. As we’ve mentioned, they are essential for building grammatically correct and natural-sounding sentences.

From a grammatical standpoint, prepositions are invariable words that introduce a prepositional complement—that is, a group of words that clarifies or completes the meaning of another part of the sentence, usually a verb, adjective, or noun.

Put simply, the main function of prepositions is to connect words in a sentence and define clear semantic relationships between them. Speaking without prepositions would sound a bit like “Tarzan talk”—not exactly the goal for anyone learning English!

Before we look at how to use them correctly, let’s see a few examples of common mistakes caused by missing prepositions.

Sentences without prepositions: What do they sound like?

Sometimes the best way to learn is by looking at common mistakes. Let’s take a look at how the absence of prepositions can completely change the meaning of a sentence—and how to fix it.

Common mistakes and corrections:

Incorrect: I’m thinking this problem.
Correct: I’m thinking about this problem. “About” introduces the reflection and connects the verb to its object.
Incorrect: She is good history.
Correct: She is good at history. “At” shows the subject’s skill in a particular area.
Incorrect: They arrived the airport 8 p.m.
Correct: They arrived at the airport at 8 p.m. We need prepositions to indicate both place and time.
Incorrect: We are waiting you.
Correct: We are waiting for you. A literal translation from Spanish like this doesn’t work in English. The preposition “for” indicates who is being waited for.

These examples lead us to one clear conclusion: prepositions matter—a lot. And with Talkao’s AI translation and speech recognition tools, learning to use them properly becomes easier than ever.

What is the function of a preposition in a sentence?

As we’ve already seen, English prepositions—just like in many other languages—play a crucial role. At this point, it’s clear that their main function is to connect. Prepositions are used to link words within a sentence and clearly establish semantic relationships between grammatical structures.

That part is fairly straightforward. But now you might be wondering: Do prepositions serve any other purpose in a sentence?

Yes, they do. In fact, English prepositions go beyond grammar. By their very nature, prepositions complete sentences by adding essential meaning.

In other words, prepositions allow us to expand the meaning of a sentence by adding complements related to place, time, or action (movement). Additionally, a preposition helps to refine or clarify the meaning of another part of the sentence. Because they are invariable—that is, they don’t change based on tense—they are vital in both spoken and written English. They give a sentence its full context and clarity.

Let’s explore how they are constructed so you can understand their function even better.

How to use a preposition in an English sentence

As the natural connectors of grammatical structures, prepositions in English play a key role. By using them correctly in a sentence, you can expand its meaning, add precision, and create logical connections between ideas. Therefore, there is a standard grammatical structure to follow.

Generally, English prepositions follow this basic rule:

Preposition + Prepositional Complement

The complement is usually a noun, a pronoun, or a gerund (a verb in its -ing form). Let’s look at a few examples:

I am sitting in the car.
My mother was talking with him.
Mike talked about learning English next summer.

In each of these examples, the preposition serves as a bridge that smoothly connects ideas to form a coherent and logical sentence. But more importantly, prepositions help us express specific meanings. Without them, our sentences would sound vague, unclear, or grammatically incorrect. We’d lose essential details like time, place, or action.

And that leads us to the next step in mastering English prepositions: Understanding the most common types of prepositions and their specific functions.

Types of prepositions in English

Prepositions in English can be classified into different types depending on the semantic relationship they express. While there are many categories, let’s focus on the most common types. To help you understand and internalize them, we’ll include clear examples for each case.

Prepositions of place

Place prepositions indicate the position of a person or object in relation to another. They are essential for giving precise information in everyday conversations. If you’re using language recognition technology like Talkao’s AI-powered predictive translation, you’ll often encounter prepositions such as:

in
on
under
next to
behind
between

These prepositions help form accurate and natural-sounding sentences when describing location or position.

Prepositions of time

Time prepositions allow us to place events or actions at specific points or within time frames. The most commonly used ones include:

at
on
in
since
for
by

Quick tip to avoid confusion:

Use “in” for months, years, and parts of the day, “on” for specific days, and

“at” for exact times.

Let’s see how the meaning changes with just a different preposition:

I go to the gym in the morning.
I go to the gym on Mondays.
I go to the gym at 6:00 a.m.

Prepositions of direction or movement

Although not exclusive to English, movement prepositions have specific uses in the language. They show the direction in which someone or something is moving. Common examples include:

to
into
onto
across
along

These are useful when describing motion, routes, or changes in position.

Prepositions of cause, reason, or purpose

We use these prepositions to explain the reason or purpose behind an action or event. Some of the most frequent are:

because of
due to
for

They help bring clarity when expressing why something happens.

Prepositions of agent or means

These are commonly used in English to indicate who performs an action or the means through which something happens. Examples include:

by
with

They are often found in passive constructions or when describing tools and methods.

Yes, we get it—when you see them listed like this, prepositions can seem a bit confusing. But don’t worry! With Talkao’s English classes, you’ll learn to use them naturally and effortlessly—no need for endless memorization. Thanks to AI-powered predictive translation, you’ll pick them up in real-life, everyday contexts. Next, let’s take a look at some of the most common mistakes people make when using English prepositions—and how to fix them.

Common mistakes when using English prepositions

When we rely on language recognition technology, we often forget about the proper use of prepositions. We hand over the entire translation process to an app and stop paying attention to the structure of each sentence. However, if there’s one thing all English teachers agree on, it’s the importance of understanding the grammatical roots of the language.

In other words, if you learn the basic principles of English, speaking and writing becomes much easier over time. Let’s take a look at why so many people make mistakes with English prepositions.

Why do we use prepositions incorrectly in English?

Mastering prepositions in English is, without a doubt, one of the most frustrating parts of learning the language. And while it’s certainly challenging, understanding them is essential to your progress.

Even though you have AI-powered predictive translation apps at your fingertips, it’s crucial to grasp the grammatical foundation. This is the key to building sentences and truly understanding any language.

Here are some common mistakes English learners often make:

Translating prepositions literally

It doesn’t matter if your native language is Spanish, Japanese, or any other—prepositions don’t always have a direct translation. That’s why literal translation doesn’t work. You must learn their meaning and use in context.

Don’t translate. Learn how they work naturally in English.

Using the wrong preposition with certain verbs

A single verb can take different prepositions depending on the context. Sometimes, two or more prepositions of the same type may appear in one sentence:

I go to the gym on Fridays at 5 o’clock.

Each preposition adds specific information—when, where, or how the action occurs.

Not recognizing fixed expressions (Collocations)

There are expressions in English that only work with certain prepositions. These are called collocations, and learning them is essential for sounding natural. Here are a few examples:

Look into – To investigate something
Get over – To recover from something
Take care of – To care for someone or something
Be careful of – To be cautious with something

How to practice prepositions when learning English

In many classes, you’ll hear that the only way to learn prepositions is through memorization. But in Talkao’s podcasts, you’ll discover that learning English is not about memorizing rules, but about understanding the language logically and naturally.

With AI-powered predictive translation, you’ll learn to use prepositions in the right context—just like native speakers do. It’s one of your best allies for learning English effectively.

Here’s how you can practice prepositions efficiently:

Study common verb + preposition combinations
Read regularly in English, identify prepositions, and analyze their function
Listen to English content and focus on contextual use
Write your own sentences using the prepositions you’ve learned
Do interactive grammar exercises and review your mistakes

Don’t be afraid of prepositions in English!

Prepositions are powerful grammatical tools with real-life practical use. Mastering them will help you speak more fluently and sound more natural in conversations. Little by little, you’ll get closer to speaking like a native.

This makes our podcast content perfect not only for language learners, but also for teachers, tutors, and communication professionals. But why are language podcasts a must-have resource in your learning toolkit? Stay tuned and you’ll find out.

Let’s start from the very beginning…

What is a podcast and what makes this format so special?

In recent years, podcasts have become a key tool for language learning. They’ve also emerged as an ideal format for consuming educational content. Many language teachers have discovered that podcasts—like Talkao Podcasts—allow them to connect directly with their students. At the same time, by listening to other experts, they can improve their own teaching methods. Not to mention, millions of people now enjoy podcasts as a way to learn and be entertained at the same time.

But what makes podcasts so popular? The answer lies in their format. What makes a podcast so appealing is its accessibility and flexibility. With podcasts, you don’t need a screen in front of you—you can listen while doing other tasks. Whether you’re commuting to work, waiting for the bus, riding the subway, cooking, working out, or just relaxing, podcasts fit right into your routine.

A flexible format created by and for listeners

Without diving too deep into the technical side or discussing AI-powered translation tools, a podcast is essentially a digital audio file. It may be accompanied by multimedia content, such as video, slides, or images—or it may be audio-only, like a radio show.

Some podcasts are live or pre-recorded, much like virtual meeting translations. Others use voiceovers while displaying a sequence of images. What they all share is ease of access: you can listen to them anywhere, anytime. And unlike other content formats, podcasts don’t follow a rigid structure. That means they’re as diverse and creative as their creators want them to be.

Podcasts are usually released in episode format, although there are also standalone podcast episodes. They can be just a few minutes long or span several hours. Some are streamed live with listener participation, while most are pre-recorded so you can enjoy them at your own pace. And that brings us to one of the greatest advantages of podcasts…

Content you can enjoy your way

Think of podcasts as a giant color palette—there are no strict rules. You can find podcasts about everything from celebrity gossip to fluid dynamics on the surface of Mars. There’s no single theme that defines them, and that’s part of their magic. In fact, many podcasts combine multiple topics in a single episode.

Still, there’s one key element found in all podcasts—including, of course, Talkao Podcasts—and that’s content personalization. As a listener, you can interact with the podcast however you like. You can pause, rewind to review something you didn’t understand, or skip ahead to the part that truly interests you.

In other words, a podcast is like a tailor-made suit. It might be the only content format today that offers such flexibility and adaptability. And that’s likely one of the main reasons podcasts have become so incredibly popular. But flexibility isn’t the only reason behind their rapid rise. Let’s explore a few more advantages…

What makes podcasts (including Talkao Podcasts) so popular?

So far, we’ve seen that podcasts are much more than just audio files covering a variety of topics. They’re powerful tools for delivering messages, sharing information, expressing opinions, and entertaining. But there are other features that make them perfect for your learning and daily life. Let’s take a look at some of the most important ones:

Is listening comprehension in a new language still your biggest challenge? Do you attend language classes every Thursday afternoon and still can’t understand half of what people are saying? Thought you were fluent—until you traveled abroad and hit a wall? Don’t worry—you’re not alone! This is completely normal, and it has more to do with “tuning your ear” than with how much vocabulary you know.

As you’ll see, listening comprehension is one of the toughest parts of learning any language. That’s why so many people feel frustrated when they step out of the classroom and into the real world. But that doesn’t mean your language lessons were a waste of time. You just need a few extra tools and techniques to finally make everything click.

And today, we’ll introduce you to a powerful tool that can truly rescue you in those “SOS” moments. Get ready to discover how to use Talkao’s real-time translator—your personal digital interpreter—to improve listening comprehension during both classes and travel experiences.

Why is listening comprehension so difficult for me?

This is one of the most common questions language teachers hear every day. And the usual answer tends to go something like this: “The more you practice, the better your audio comprehension will become.” While that may sound a bit discouraging to someone still learning… it’s absolutely true!

The challenge with listening comprehension is that it’s a lot like learning to ride a bike or play the violin. There’s really no other way to master it than by practicing over and over again.

In other words, listening skills aren’t something you can learn from a book. Nor can you buy them in a store. It’s a slow, gradual, scalable, and cumulative process. The more you expose yourself to spoken language, the more your brain adapts and improves. So, yes—it can be frustrating, but it’s one of those things you only get better at by doing.

But why is that the case? The answer lies in your brain, and you’re about to find out why.

The accuracy of audio translation: An incredible brain process

Every day, you perform extraordinary tasks without even realizing it. Think for a moment about driving. You move from place to place with ease, rarely stopping to consider the immense coordination it requires—your hands and feet working together, recognizing obstacles, even predicting other people’s behavior. This physical and mental effort happens naturally, almost without thought.

The same thing happens with language—even your native one. Yes, understanding your own language involves a massive cognitive effort. Even reading this article requires an extraordinary mental process—almost magical, if we may say so. But since it’s part of your daily life, your brain “hides” the effort from you. What does that mean? Let’s break it down.

The ear-brain connection and the process of listening comprehension

Imagine for a second that you were fully aware of every process involved in a simple conversation with a friend. What happens in your brain is like a high-speed factory in motion. Inside that factory, millions of workers—your neurons—are operating simultaneously and in perfect sync. And they do all this in milliseconds!

Every time someone speaks to you, they produce a sound that stands out from background noise. Human voices have a unique and recognizable resonance. We can easily distinguish a voice from surrounding sounds—and more impressively, we can recognize the voice of someone we love among hundreds.

This ability is one of the most remarkable traits of human evolution. While animals can make sounds, humans are the only species capable of articulating them into complex messages. Let’s see how this works.

The “journey” of the voice to the brain

As we’ve seen, the human voice is easily recognized amid background noise. Even more impressively, we can identify someone’s voice instantly, especially if it’s familiar. But here’s the fascinating part: we can also instantly recognize our native language.

Imagine your eyes are covered and you’re surrounded by different sounds. In a split second, you’d know:

A human voice is speaking.
It’s in your language.
And it’s a friend talking to you.

But the most astonishing part? You actually understand what’s being said.

It’s almost like your ear comes with a built-in real-time translator. The accuracy of audio translation from sound to message is a brilliant cognitive feat. Yet it happens so quickly and so often that we’re barely aware of it.

To truly appreciate this incredible process, let’s visualize it using a simple comic-strip analogy. Imagine speech bubbles above the characters. Here’s how a typical conversation unfolds:

Your friend speaks

Thanks to voice identification and audio translation accuracy, your brain immediately detects that it’s a human voice. It recognizes who’s speaking and prepares to process the message.

The voice reaches your ear

In the tiny fraction of a second it takes for sound to travel to your ear, your brain’s auditory system activates. This part of the brain, trained over years of exposure, pulls up memory banks that link sounds to meaning.

The message is captured

Your brain knows certain sounds represent words—verbs, nouns, pronouns, and so on. Even if you don’t consciously know every grammar rule, your brain intuitively understands the structure of language and decodes the message.

Tone, inflection, and accent are detected

During this “journey,” your brain also picks up on tone and emotional inflection. You instantly know if the speaker is angry, sad, or happy. How many times has someone asked if something’s wrong—just based on your voice? The emotion is often louder than the words.

Your brain prepares to assimilate the message

As the voice travels to your brain, the message is translated and stored. Each sentence is analyzed and mentally “transcribed,” giving it meaning and emotional weight. At this point, what was once just sound has become a specific message.

Your response is formulated

Every sound that enters your brain triggers a cognitive and emotional reaction. It might spark laughter, tears, or any number of feelings depending on context. Most commonly, though, your brain prepares a verbal reply, often with accompanying gestures or expressions.

One simple message can ignite a storm of responses throughout your entire being. That’s the power of listening comprehension.

But here’s the catch: all of this happens in the language you learned from birth. Do you see now why achieving perfect audio comprehension in a second language is such a challenge? Not quite yet? Let’s keep going.

The complexity of listening comprehension in a second language

Everything we’ve discussed so far leads to one main point: listening comprehension is usually an automatic process. In other words, it happens subconsciously—in the background, as tech folks would say. You don’t see it, feel it, or even realize it’s happening. But trust us, it’s there.

You don’t notice it because your brain has learned to manage it through years of practice. From birth, you start recognizing your mother’s voice over your siblings’. You know a dog’s bark doesn’t require a response. Later, as you begin to speak, your parents and teachers help you refine your listening comprehension skills. You do it so naturally, it feels as easy as breathing or walking—simple and logical.

The real challenge begins when automation breaks down

And here’s the big issue: all of that automation falls apart when you try to comprehend a second language. And when it does, the effect can feel catastrophic. Your brain, which is used to receiving, processing, and understanding sound, suddenly becomes useless. No matter how hard it searches through your memory banks, it can’t find a link between what it just heard and what it means.

Your brain’s vanity and its rebellion against the unknown

Psychologists often describe this state of confusion as cognitive dissonance—a mental discomfort that arises when your brain doesn’t have an answer. And as you may already know, this little processor in your head has quite the ego. When it doesn’t know what to do, it often shuts down, goes into conflict mode, or even outright rejects the input.

That’s why learning a new language is really about training your brain to manage its own ego. You’re helping it understand that nothing is broken—it’s just hearing something it doesn’t yet recognize. And more importantly, it needs to know that a solution is coming soon.

In other words, not understanding is simply your brain facing one of its biggest internal battles. That’s why a lack of accuracy in audio translation is most noticeable when you’re not familiar with the language. The only way to fix it is through exposure, training, and knowledge acquisition—along with every bit of help you can get.

So, how can you improve? Let’s take a look at some practical tips.

Improve your listening comprehension skills through practice

As you’ve seen, developing listening comprehension in a new language is like going back to square one. In many ways, it’s similar to the process you went through when learning to speak and communicate as a child. But here’s the good news: you’ve done it before!

In other words, your brain already knows how to distinguish meaningful words from random sounds. It understands that by feeding its internal database, it can associate each sound with a message. The infrastructure is already in place—it just needs to be adapted to a new context: a new language.

That’s why many linguists compare learning a foreign language to “brain growth.” While your brain doesn’t grow physically, it certainly expands its capabilities. And that means you already have everything you need to boost your accuracy in audio translation. All you need to do is increase its processing speed. The key? A smart strategy that really works. Let’s explore it.

Increase your exposure to the new language

Surprisingly, the brain has an incredible capacity for adaptation. However, it tends to be cautious—if you don’t push it, it won’t change. That’s why it’s essential to help your brain understand that this new language is safe. In other words, you need to expose yourself to it as much as possible.

Here are a few effective ways to do that:

Enroll in a language school or academy and begin structured lessons. This is one of the best approaches, as it provides a strong foundation and formal instruction.

Travel to a country or region where the language is spoken natively. This is known as a full-immersion experience, and it’s incredibly effective.
If traveling isn’t an option, connect with native speakers in your community. Conversations in real-life settings help reinforce natural language use.
Watch movies, listen to music, podcasts, or any multimedia content in the target language. The more you listen, the better.

These options aren’t mutually exclusive—you can do all of them at once! Go to class, talk to locals, and stream foreign content. Every little bit helps.

Use translation technology and your own digital interpreter

Today, AI is transforming how we learn and understand languages—especially in the field of listening comprehension. The accuracy of real-time audio translation tools has reached incredible levels, and the best part is: you have access to it right in your hand.

With apps like Talkao, you can translate any spoken audio into your own language instantly. This real-time capability allows your brain to train faster, adapting to sounds and meanings at a much higher speed than traditional methods alone.

From the outside, it’s easy to assume that linguists, translators, and simultaneous interpreters all do the same job, right? It’s completely natural—without a deep understanding of the field, anyone might confuse the roles of these professionals. After all, they all deal with translation and help bridge communication between people who speak different languages.

But the reality is that there are significant differences between these three roles. Each one involves specific training, unique skill sets, and very distinct goals.

Since this confusion is so common among those who aren’t deeply familiar with the subject, we decided to take a closer look. We did some digging to better understand the distinctions between linguists, translators, and simultaneous interpreters—and we found some surprising insights you’re about to discover.

As you’ll see in the next few paragraphs, each of these professionals serves a unique purpose, backed by different expertise and very different educational backgrounds. This is definitely going to be an eye-opening read. Stay with us until the end to explore the fascinating world of language from a whole new perspective.

But first, let’s clarify what each of these roles actually involves…

What does a linguist do?

Before we dive in, there’s one key point to clarify: there’s no professional hierarchy between linguists, translators, and simultaneous interpreters. In other words, none of these roles is superior or more qualified than the others. They are three distinct professions, each with its own goals, training, and methods. Every one of them brings unique value to different types of clients and situations. So, let’s start by discarding the idea that one is better or worse than the other.

With that out of the way, let’s begin this breakdown by examining the roles, training, and responsibilities of linguists. These professionals specialize in the scientific study of language and how it functions as a social phenomenon. While linguistics is often considered a branch of anthropology, linguists themselves are experts with deep academic training focused on language.

Unlike translators or interpreters, a linguist’s primary job is not to translate content from one language to another. Instead, they analyze how human language works—its structures, patterns, and usage in society.

Linguistics is divided into multiple branches

Because of their academic background, linguists often specialize in different subfields, such as:

Phonetics and Phonology – The study of speech sounds from both anatomical and cognitive perspectives.
Morphology – The analysis of how words are formed and structured.
Syntax – The study of sentence structure and grammatical rules.
Semantics – Focused on the meanings of words and how they’re interpreted.
Pragmatics – Examines how language is used in real-life social contexts.

Additionally, many linguists work in applied areas like second language acquisition, language planning, computational linguistics, and even the creation of artificial languages—think Esperanto or the fictional Klingon from Star Trek.

Linguists generally study language as a human phenomenon, not just a single language. This makes their work incredibly valuable, even if it doesn’t seem directly related to translation at first glance.

Why linguists are essential in language studies

As we’ve mentioned, linguists play a crucial role in understanding how languages function. Their academic training enables them to explore the structure, usage, and evolution of languages—both in formal systems and in social interaction.

Linguists examine language across all levels: from individual sounds and word formation to sentence construction and meaning. They also explore how languages have changed over time and investigate the historical influences behind linguistic variation.

Importantly, linguists study how people use language in different social and cultural contexts, analyzing the effects of environment, interaction, and tradition. They go even further by developing theories and models about the nature of language itself—foundational work that supports both translators and interpreters in their practical roles.

How linguists relate to translators and interpreters

Put simply, a linguist can be thought of as the theorist behind language and all its complexities. This includes the study of how people acquire language, how language is processed in the brain, and how it can be taught effectively. These insights are vital for creating better teaching methods and for understanding the obstacles learners face when acquiring a new language.

As professionals, linguists investigate language-related issues, develop solutions, and aim to grasp language’s evolution and role in society. Their research provides a deep foundation for understanding human communication and its cultural implications—knowledge that is absolutely essential for translators and interpreters to do their jobs effectively.

So, what about translators? What exactly do they do?

We’ll explore that in the next section.

We’ve already established that linguists are the professionals who study and explain language as a human phenomenon. However, linguists are not always involved in transferring content from one language to another. This is where translators come into play, serving as the ideal professionals to bridge communication gaps between people who don’t speak the same language.

In simple terms, a translator is a professional who converts written text from one language into another. But this process goes far beyond simply replacing words—something a dictionary could do. A translator must understand and interpret context, tone, style, and often even the intent behind the message of the original author.

While we’re focusing here on written translation (and we’ll later see that this isn’t the only kind), translators can specialize in various fields, including:

Literary translation

Literary translators work with novels, poems, short stories, and other creative works. Their job isn’t just to convert the text literally—they must also capture the tone, nuance, and direction of the original piece. As we’ve seen with examples like Bible translations, a poorly rendered translation can completely distort the original meaning. That’s why this specialization requires a literary mindset and sensitivity to style.

In other words, a literary translator is also a kind of writer—one who can recreate the original text in another language, preserving its artistic essence. The work goes far beyond transferring words; it involves reimagining the piece for a new audience.

Technical translation

This area of translation is somewhat similar but involves specialized technical knowledge. Instead of translating literary content, technical translators work with manuals, guides, and documentation—often in fields like engineering, IT, or science.

For example, a translator working on a software manual must be familiar with the terminology and technical jargon specific to that field. They need to understand the content well enough to communicate it clearly and accurately, without introducing mistakes or changing the intended meaning. A solid understanding of the subject matter is essential in technical translation.

Legal translation

Legal translation is another highly specialized field that comes with extra complexity. It’s not just about translating legal texts word-for-word; the translated content must fit the legal framework of the target language without altering the original meaning—a real challenge.

Legal translation is crucial in judicial and criminal proceedings, especially between countries with different official languages. It’s also used in international business, multinational lawsuits, and other formal legal processes. Because of the high stakes, many countries require translators to be certified to handle these documents. Courts often rely on official translators to ensure the accuracy and validity of translated materials.

Medical translation

The language of medicine can feel like a different language altogether. Medical texts are full of technical terms and domain-specific expressions. A translator working in this field must be familiar with medical terminology, classifications, and professional language to ensure an accurate translation.

Imagine a misdiagnosis caused by a translation error, or taking the wrong medication due to a mistranslated prescription. The consequences could be serious—even life-threatening. That’s why expertise and precision are non-negotiable in medical translation.

Are all translations written?

Not necessarily. Unlike linguists, translators have a practical and communicative focus. They typically master both the source language and the target language, with the aim of producing a translation that feels natural to the reader while preserving the meaning of the original.

That said, not all source material is written. Translators may also work with speeches, songs, films, or even casual conversations. However, the end result is usually a written document.

Let’s clarify: a translator may take a spoken or written message in one language and convert it into written form in another. In some cases, this process can go from audio to audio—something increasingly common today thanks to the rise of multimedia content.

Still, it’s important to note that not all translators work with audio content. This often falls under a different specialization more closely related to interpreters or simultaneous translators.

Let’s now take a closer look at how interpreters differ from written translators, and why their work is so essential in live, real-time communication.

What is a simultaneous interpreter?

Now that we’ve explored what linguists and translators do, it’s time to dive into the world of simultaneous interpreters. This professional profile plays a key role in today’s globalized world, where the flow of multilingual information is constant—especially in conferences, negotiations, and international events. And of course, let’s not forget the impact of live streaming and the vast amount of content on social media.

In today’s era of instant communication, it seems we can’t afford to lose even a second trying to understand something—especially when it’s not in our language. Reading subtitles often isn’t fast enough, or may be out of sync. That’s why simultaneous interpreters have become more essential than ever.

However, it would be a major mistake to think that simultaneous interpretation is a modern invention. Far from it! In fact, you could say it was one of the earliest forms of communication between people who spoke different languages. From Marco Polo’s interpreters to those accompanying European explorers in the Americas, these professionals have always been crucial to the development of civilizations.

But what exactly do simultaneous interpreters do?

Speed, accuracy, and deep knowledge: The three pillars of simultaneous interpretation

First, it’s important to understand that simultaneous interpretation is a form of oral translation. The term “simultaneous translator” is commonly used in everyday language, but technically speaking, a translator works with written text, while an interpreter works with spoken language.

A simultaneous interpreter listens to a speaker and translates the message into another language in real time, with only a brief delay of a few seconds. This process happens without pauses, requiring extreme focus and mastery of both languages involved.

These professionals often work inside soundproof booths with specialized equipment, though they are also commonly seen in virtual events. Another widely used method is called “whispered interpretation” or chuchotage, used when there is only one listener. You’ve probably seen this during diplomatic meetings—the person always whispering next to a president or high-ranking official.

Essential skills for simultaneous interpreters

In addition to extensive training, simultaneous interpreters must develop a specific set of skills, such as:

High-level concentration and short-term memory
Perfect command of both working languages
Quick thinking and strong improvisation skills
Clear pronunciation and a well-trained voice
Intercultural empathy and professional discretion

As you can see, this is not an easy profession. It requires outstanding communication skills and represents a significant intellectual challenge—especially because of the high-stakes environments in which these professionals often work.

Can anyone be a simultaneous interpreter?

The short answer is no. Beyond mastering a language fluently, simultaneous interpreters possess a unique set of skills that go well beyond vocabulary and grammar. Their job is not about translating word-for-word. Instead, they must capture the overall meaning, tone, and speaker’s intent, while culturally adapting the message for the target audience.

Some of the most important tasks of a simultaneous interpreter include:

Interpreting conferences, summits, and international forums
Facilitating communication in diplomatic meetings or business negotiations
Translating during press conferences, academic or institutional events
Participating in sessions for multilateral organizations such as the UN or the EU
Collaborating in multilingual virtual events

As you can see, their role is crucial for global communication. Thanks to their work, people from different cultures and languages can connect and understand each other—without barriers.

However, there’s good news: today, you can enjoy real-time translation without the years of intense training professional interpreters go through. How? With Talkao’s AI-powered Real-Time translation tools.

Effortless real-time translation thanks to AI

Translation is a highly respected profession across the globe. Linguists, translators, and simultaneous interpreters all hold important roles in modern society. Their dedication is evident in the accuracy, nuance, and clarity of their work, and their impact on global communication is undeniable.

But outside of high-level settings—like presidential summits or international conferences—everyday users still need translation tools constantly. Whether it’s for simple text translations or translating full documents, the demand is huge.

Of course, hiring a professional interpreter is not always feasible. It requires careful logistics and financial resources that not everyone has access to. That’s why Talkao’s translation tools are a game changer—bringing the power of professional translation right to your pocket.

e-learning has seen continuous, unstoppable growth over the past four years—there’s no doubt about it. In fact, since the 2020–2021 pandemic, enrollment in online courses and all forms of e-learning has increased fivefold. Today, e-learning has evolved far beyond being just an option for a specific group of students or training programs. We now have everything from short webinars to fully online degree programs.

And it’s no longer limited to just a few learning platforms. Some of the world’s most prestigious universities now offer fully online undergraduate and graduate programs. At the same time, we can’t ignore the economic potential of e-learning as a scalable business model.

That’s exactly what we’ll explore today: how e-learning can serve as a powerful strategy for business growth. We’ll look at how Talkao AI-powered translation tools can significantly improve the user experience.

You’ll also learn how real-time translation for video conferencing and accurate audio translation are becoming essential tools for scaling e-learning services globally. These innovations aren’t just enhancing access—they’re redefining what’s possible in digital education.

e-learning: Much more than just a learning method

The evolution of e-learning has been nothing short of remarkable. As one of the most significant shifts in the education sector, e-learning is here to stay. In the US alone, over 70% of educational institutions at all levels now offer partially or fully online classes. On a global scale, more than 57% of the education market relies on e-learning—either as a standalone or blended method.

But to truly understand how and why e-learning has become what it is today, we need to take a quick step back. Not far—just five years, to the pre- and post-COVID-19 era. Before the world was forced into lockdown, e-learning represented less than 20% of total instruction. Online classes were mainly used for niche training programs and specialized learning paths.

Courses, master’s degrees, and certain programs offered online classes for international or off-campus students. In many cases, e-learning was just an extra feature for a limited group of learners. Additionally, not all university degrees or formal programs had digital learning options. But everything changed in 2020.

COVID-19: A turning point for e-learning

Many experts compare the rise of e-learning to the mass adoption of other groundbreaking innovations. Let’s use the automobile as an illustrative analogy. When Ford introduced the assembly line, it enabled the production of affordable, practical vehicles. However, there wasn’t yet a global infrastructure ready to accommodate such a large volume of cars. Cities had to reinvent themselves to make room for a car in every garage.

Similarly, for e-learning to become the global phenomenon it is today, the world had to undergo a technological and cultural shift. Between now and pre-2020, technology and innovation have drastically changed. Before the pandemic, streaming quality, multimedia speed, and especially audio-video interaction were far less advanced. Not everyone had the capacity to stream a class with today’s audio translation accuracy and real-time capabilities.

The student changed—But so did the teacher

All of these factors have played a key role—there’s no doubt about it. Without the necessary infrastructure, running a high-quality live class as we know it today would be impossible. But beyond the tech, there’s been a major shift in public perception of e-learning.

Today’s learners no longer view online education as distant, low-quality, or overly specialized. Online classes have evolved into a global market worth over €2 billion. And teachers? They’ve adapted too. Since 2020, educators and academic institutions have recognized the true potential of e-learning.

In fact, current projections suggest that within the next decade, up to 75% of all courses will be delivered online. This sends a clear message: “Adapt or be left behind.” Put differently, educators who fail to embrace e-learning could soon become relics of the past.

Still, one essential question remains: Why is real-time translation for video conferences the key to unlocking the full potential of e-learning?

Let’s find out.

The paradigm shift in e-learning and the “democratization” of education

Alright, we’ve already established that since 2021, e-learning has gone from being a novelty to becoming the new standard in education. But what does that actually mean in terms of growth for the sector? As we’ll explore below, this “simple” shift has led to a profound transformation: the globalization of learning.

Today, you no longer need a massive physical infrastructure to become an educator. A teacher—or better yet, a specialist in any field—can now scale their expertise to a global audience. Take a language teacher, for example. A student in Polynesia can now take Spanish lessons from a tutor in Cádiz, and vice versa. It may not sound revolutionary at first glance… but it’s changed the game completely.

Thanks to advancements in real-time translation for video conferencing and improvements in audio translation accuracy, educators no longer need to invest in expensive translation services to subtitle or dub content. Not only was this cost-prohibitive, but it also made live classes virtually impossible. From a growth and service delivery perspective, this marks a true revolution. Let’s break it down with a concrete example.

Live classes, webinars, consultations, and one-on-one coaching

Until recently, educational globalization was still an incomplete concept. For students in other regions to access learning content, it first had to be translated and localized. Not every institution could afford this luxury, and this naturally excluded individual educators and small training centers from going global.

If a training academy in Alabama wanted to teach students in Japan, they had to edit, translate, and adapt all content beforehand. This made it impossible for a student in Tokyo to receive real-time, up-to-date information. Yet in industries like tech or science, access to timely information is essential.

Now, with cutting-edge audio translation and high-quality streaming, that Tokyo-based student can receive the same content, live and in full context, as a student in Alabama. And the same goes the other way around—regardless of the country, subject, or sector.

Do you see the implication? Borders no longer exist—not in terms of distance, not culturally, and certainly not linguistically. That means you, as a specialist, can now teach millions of students around the world.

This is nothing short of a fundamental shift.

And we’re just getting started…

Real-time translation as the driving force of the future of e-learning

Across multiple industries, translation technology is pushing the boundaries of what e-learning can achieve. Today, the world’s top universities offer degree programs that are entirely online. At the same time, new universities have emerged that are fully digital in nature. And let’s not forget the thousands of professionals who have embraced e-learning as both a growth opportunity and a way of life.

As we mentioned earlier, the e-learning market is projected to reach astronomical figures within the next two years. No other sector in human history has seen such rapid growth. From just a few million euros in revenue in 2018, the market is expected to hit billions—with a “B”—by 2025.

And it’s not just major institutions like Oxford or Harvard seeing these gains. We’re talking about steady income streams flowing to independent educators who, until recently, were considered “outside the system.” Educators like you, who are now ready to take their expertise beyond geographic and language barriers.

What’s happening in the global e-learning landscape

Although economics is an inexact science, it does operate under a few fundamental principles. One of the most relevant in this context is the law of supply and demand, which is already beginning to shape the future of e-learning.

As with any product or service that reaches mass adoption, increased supply and demand will naturally drive prices down. And along with that—almost inevitably—quality may also decline.

You may have already experienced this firsthand: the market is becoming saturated with low-cost online courses created by unqualified individuals, offering training in just about anything. So how does this affect your place in the market? Quite simply: consumers will start looking for better-quality options—even if they cost a little more.

Of course, this won’t apply to every student. Some will always prioritize price over value, but a growing segment is actively seeking high-quality education, and they’re willing to pay for it.

This is where you, as an online educator, must make a critical decision:

You can join the race to the bottom, offering low-cost, low-quality courses in a hyper-competitive market.
Or you can elevate your course quality and tap into a more discerning audience willing to invest in a better learning experience.

If you choose the first path, best of luck—you’ll be competing in a nearly infinite pool of providers.

But if you opt for the second, then listen closely to what comes next…

Differentiation as the key to e-learning—and real-time translation as a game-changing tool

When faced with a professional crossroads, we must always choose the path that’s most sustainable in the long run. That’s precisely the case we presented earlier. If you’re an e-learning instructor, you’ve likely encountered this difficult decision:

Should I expand my services at the cost of quality by offering low prices?
Or, on the contrary, should I focus on delivering higher quality to reach an audience willing to invest more?

If you chose the second option—congratulations! You’ve made a consumer-centric decision, and trust us: the market sees it, appreciates it, and rewards it.

However, raising the quality of your e-learning courses is not just about good intentions. It requires action and hard work. We’re not only talking about high-quality content, strong technical production, or compelling visual design. And it’s not just about offering good supplemental materials either—that’s what everyone else is doing.

In the vast international e-learning market, quality is expected as a baseline. The learners willing to pay more have already sifted through dozens of alternatives before landing on yours. So where does your real advantage lie?

It’s all about differentiation

If your goal is to reach a global audience, first understand that you’re stepping into the top tier of your industry. You’ll be competing with the best across all five continents, and in this league, the smallest details make the biggest difference.

That’s why incorporating top-tier translation tools must be high on your priority list.

If your courses rely on multimedia content—audio, video, text, and images—real-time translation becomes essential. In this context, the quality of the tools you offer your students is anything but a minor detail.

Think about real-time translation for live video conferencing, and high-precision audio translation.

Can you really afford to settle for subpar tools?

Your tools reflect your standards

Think of the quality of your translation tools as part of the complete learning experience.

Talkao’s real-time translation tools offer a smart solution that delivers everything you need:

Intuitive features
100% mobile-friendly interface

It’s the details that set you apart!

Differentiation is built into the little things. And providing your students with an easy-to-use, instant translation system is much more than a simple detail—it’s a competitive advantage.
