This page is a very helpful tool for practising translation. I like  
how most of the words it uses are common beginner's words (words that  
I know) so I just end up looking up a few new words. The parsing  
isn't a big failing, since it gives me a correct answer at the end  
for each problem so I can compare the two to decide if mine was close  
enough.
