Meeting at night

Task A - Transcription Reading

First of all, let's practise our phonemic transcription knowledge a bit more. accessible/text version of task A

'Translate' the phonemic transcription of the poem we provide below into its normal written form (to help you, we have included gaps between the words, the lineation and the written punctuation marks in our transcription, as you probably cannot accurately deduce these from a standard phonemic transcription).

When you have completed the written version, submit it to our checker, which will highlight any errors you have made, if any, with an asterisk so that you can look at those parts of the poem again and resubmit your translation.

You can access the correct translation by clicking on the individual lines but remember you will learn more by trying the task yourself first.
