"我的妈妈也是老师。"
Translation:My mother is also a teacher.

I see two translations given:
Translation: My mother is also a teacher." sounds natural. The other; "My mother too is a teacher", is not wrong, but sound unnatural. 'My mum/mother is a teacher too" being more natural in English, or at least in British English. No biggie, but anything to make this even better.
Great job on making this course guys!

I see what you mean. "妈妈" is informal and therefore should be translated as "mom" or "mama" or something like that. "母亲" is formal and would be the correct characters for a translation of mother.

Isn't it strange how the worth for mom is the same or similar in almost every language.

It says that 也 (Pinyin = yě) means: also / too / (in Classical Chinese) final particle implying affirmation.
