Obviously AI-generated album cover, sounds nothing like the djent legends and the "vocals" are blatantly synthesised.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

E: I emailed the management and they replied saying they'll sort it out.

I had the difficulty set to Unbeatable yet ANNA beat them by several seconds per lap.

That's a bunch of tuning time wasted for now.

PGG get your act together.

I have used Babbel+ for a while and after recently finishing the B1 course for Italian, I feel like I've been rushed through and the writing exercises are not comprehensive, usually only requiring a single word in a sentence or picking supplied phrases in the correct order to build a sentence and it doesn't feel like it's properly helping me retain the knowledge.

I asked Gemini to give me a daily writing exercise translating both ways and here's how it marked me, brainfarts included. 😅

Here is the breakdown and grading of your translations:

Overall Score: 7.5 / 10

Great effort! You clearly understood the meaning of every sentence, and your Italian to English translations were nearly spot on. The English to Italian section just had a few common grammar traps with verbs and prepositions.

Part 1: English to Italian

1. "I am sending my CV because I want to apply for this job position."

• Your translation: Sto inviando il mio CV perché vorrei candidarsi per questo lavoro.
• Correction: Sto inviando il mio CV perché vorrei candidarmi per quest'offerta di lavoro (or: questo posto di lavoro).
• Feedback:
• Reflexive verb agreement: Because you are applying, the reflexive pronoun must match the subject (vorrei candidarmi, not candidarsi).
• Lavoro works, but posto di lavoro (job position/post) or offerta di lavoro (job opening) captures "job position" more accurately.

2. "It is important that we finish the project before Friday."

• Your translation: È importante che finiamo il progetto prima giovedì.
• Correction: È importante che finiamo (or finiamo) il progetto prima di venerdì.
• Feedback:
• Preposition error: "Before [day/time]" requires prima di (prima di venerdì).
• Vocabulary note: Giovedì is Thursday! Friday is venerdì.
• Verb form: Finiamo is grammatically acceptable here (present subjunctive noi for -isc- verbs matches indicative finiamo), so your verb conjugation choice was correct.

3. "Although she works many hours, she is very satisfied with her salary."

• Your translation: Sebbene lavora tante ore, é soddisfattissima del suo stipendio.
• Correction: Sebbene lavori molte/tante ore, è soddisfattissima del suo stipendio.
• Feedback:
• Subjunctive rule: Sebbene (although) always requires the subjunctive (sebbene lavori, not indicative lavora).
• Accent check: Make sure to use the grave accent on è (is) rather than acute é. Your use of soddisfattissima was fantastic!

Part 2: Italian to English

4. "Spero che il direttore approvi la nostra proposta durante la riunione di domani."

• Your translation: I hope that the director (manager?) approves our proposal during the meeting on Sunday.
• Correction: I hope that the director/manager approves our proposal during tomorrow's meeting (or: the meeting tomorrow).
• Feedback:
• Both director or manager are great translations for direttore.
• Vocabulary note: Domani means tomorrow, not Sunday (domenica).

5. "Sebbene l'azienda sia piccola, offre ottime opportunità di crescita professionale."

• Your translation: Although the company is small, it offers great opportunities for career progression.
• Correction: Spot on! Perfectly translated.

6. "È necessario che voi inviiate l'email confermando la vostra disponibilità."

• Your translation: It is necessary that you send an email confirming your availability.
• Correction: Spot on! Excellent translation.

Apart from the weird "finiamo" thing, I feel like it's doing a good job for me.
