Yes Fae, I am with JET. I'm sure you'll do fine. I've been told that being able to speak Japanese is a plus so it could help your chances getting accepted. While I live in a rural area so things could be different in the cities, all the kids are nice, good kids. My kids haven't done anything weird to me yet.
I fond the N2 test a little hard, but I think I did ok. I'll find out for sure sometime in January. Good luck on the N1 when you decide to tae it.
I am working as an English teacher at elementary schools (The kids are so cute!).
Hope I pass EF's test!
Hi everyone! Nice to meet you all!
I wanted to introduce myself here as I hope to be a Japanese translator for EF. I haven't posted on forums too often, but I love reading them as they give great suggestions for manga and anime series to read (as well as other things).
I have been working in Japan for a little over a year after I graduated from university where I studied Japanese). I hope to be a translator in the future and while I think my Japanese is good enough, I don't have a lot of experience in actual translation. I love reading Japanese and want to improve myself so that I can become a great translator.
I also decided to join because I want to give back to the community that translated manga for those who couldn't read Japanese now that I can help. I will do my best so that others can also enjoy their favorite manga quickly.
I hope to get along well with everyone!
Hi I'd like to apply to be a Japanese -> English translator. I am a native English speaker and I just sat for the N2 test last week. I have almost no experience translating (save for a few newspaper articles) but I have been reading manga and articles in Japanese with no problem for a over a year.
I will do my best to translate as quickly, accurately, and as naturally as possible.
I hope I can be of help to Evil Flowers.
