 Lost in Translation

‘Lost in Translation’ is about language, how challenging translating words from one language to another is. 
Josie Long mentions how Context is everything when it comes to understanding one another  (10:22 min)

 

”A translation is a way for letting you in”- 

I chose to convey this message by designing a pocket-sized book. 

The purpose of the pocket-sized book created is to allow a way for people especially people that are new to the country or that English isn’t their first language; with a focus on Iran (Arabic speaking country) and do not know about English idioms and their expressions or just have a little idea of what they are and have an interest in learning and understanding idioms. 
Idioms are part of everyday English, they don't always make sense literally, this is why this book is useful as you'll need to familiarize yourself with the meaning and usage of each idiom. 

App-where users can interact and learn new idioms.
