On July 9, I posted a prompt that used sentences in languages other than English as a way to do Sound Translations to start a draft.
I promised to post what language each sentence was from, and what they each were in English. I said I would do that on July 16.
I completely forgot! Mea culpa!
So here are the sentences, and if you need to check out the original prompt, do so! It really is a lot of fun and a great way to write something unexpected.
Here are the sentences:
