What it teaches

The matches

With 04-garden-memory.tmx loaded, the Memory panel shows these rates. Pretranslating at 75% fills 10 of the 13 segments. A student who confirmed all twelve segments of exercise 1 and loads its TMX export sees the same rates: a rate compares sources, and the sources are the same.

1Welcome to Hollowmere Botanic GardenWillkommen im Botanischen Garten Hollowmere
2The garden is open every day from 9:00 to 18:00, and until 21:00 from June to August.Der Garten ist täglich von 9:00 bis 18:00 Uhr geöffnet, von Juni bis August bis 21:00 Uhr.
The words are the same and only a number changed, so the match loses 2 points instead of being exact. Pretranslation fills in last year's 20:00: it must be corrected by hand.
3Last entry is one hour before closing.Letzter Einlass ist eine Stunde vor Schließung.
4Adults pay €9. Children under 12 and carers of disabled visitors go free.Erwachsene zahlen 9 €. Kinder unter 12 Jahren und Begleitpersonen von Menschen mit Behinderung haben freien Eintritt.
As segment 2: €8 became €9, and the pretranslated 8 € must be corrected.
5Tickets are sold at the gate and in our app.Eintrittskarten erhalten Sie an der Kasse und in unserer App.
6The glasshouses close for cleaning on the first Monday of each month.Die Gewächshäuser bleiben am ersten Montag jedes Monats zur Reinigung geschlossen.
7Dogs on a short lead are welcome in the outer gardens.Hunde an kurzer Leine sind in den Außenanlagen willkommen.
Below 75%, so pretranslation leaves it empty; the Memory panel still shows the match to work from.
8Please stay on the paths and do not pick the flowers.Bitte bleiben Sie auf den Wegen und pflücken Sie keine Blumen.
9All paths are now suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.Alle Wege sind jetzt für Rollstühle und Kinderwagen geeignet.
10Wheelchairs can be borrowed free of charge at the information desk.Rollstühle können kostenlos an der Information ausgeliehen werden.
11The new café by the lily pond serves breakfast from 9:00 and lunch from 12:00 to 15:00.Das neue Café am Seerosenteich bietet ab 9:00 Uhr Frühstück und von 12:00 bis 15:00 Uhr Mittagessen an.
Below 75%, like segment 7.
12A guided tour of the glasshouses starts at 14:00 every Sunday.Jeden Sonntag um 14:00 Uhr beginnt eine Führung durch die Gewächshäuser.
New this year, so the memory has nothing.
13Thank you for visiting, and we hope to see you again soon.Vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch. Wir freuen uns, Sie bald wiederzusehen.
