So I wouldn't say GT is a learning tool.
i absolutely agree.
the problem is that GT only translates word for word. the context doesn't matter for it.
for example:
GT would translate "cabbage" as "Kohl", which is vegetable.
but it could also mean "Kappes", which is an old word for "Kohl", but also describes something as stupid or silly.
