A Transcript of... Ideas 13 Use Other Languages |
|
Thanks for joining me on another episode of Writing Tips for Content Creators. We have two more techniques in our series of generating ideas before we move on to another series. Here's an idea-generating tip that's been used with great success... 13. Use Other Languages - Translations. This is a fun exercise and a wonderful way to come up with new ideas. Take words that you like, research them in other languages, and then translate them. As an example, the word “hip” in Spanish is Cadera (Ka-dare-a). That has a nice sound. Look at various languages such as German, Italian, Spanish, French, etc. If there is a word that's significant to your book or article such as “cliff” or “ocean,” conduct some research and see how those translate. The Latin term "Carpe Dieme" ("Seize The Day") became the focal point of the wonderful movie "Dead Poets' Society." An expression from another language can turn into an entire chapter of your eBook (or even your next movie =:) Explore this idea and see what you can come up with. |
