The first is based on the language whereas the second covers the major points in the application of the skills. Thus, our interest in this paper takes, s into account the focus on the language. We try to outline the basic linguistic aspects such as grammar, function, vocabulary and pronunciation. Moreover, we focus on the integration of the receptive and the productive skills during translation process.
