Meet Connie H., a Japanese-to-English translator from Ashikaga, Japan who joined the Lionbridge Community in 2019. Read on to find out more about Connie.
I enjoy connecting with other translators on the forums. It has been a pleasure to ponder questions about language, chat, and share our experiences with each other.
I had been learning Japanese for quite some time and realized that I liked the language enough to enjoy translating. Right now, I mostly translate on the side for a little extra income and because I enjoy doing it.
When I have time, I check the boards for new task requests and spend a couple of hours translating. Sometimes, I also go on the forums and engage in conversations.
Translating is really rough at first, but it will get easier with time and experience. Also, try to invest in some translation courses, so that you can improve faster.
I enjoy cooking and teaching English. I think that teaching languages, either informally through conversations or formally in a class, gives us a chance to improve our understanding with people from different backgrounds. Right now, it's both my hobby and my job.
Pancakes, because they're easy to make and there are so many varieties and toppings you can add!
4! I speak English fluently; Japanese and Mandarin Chinese for daily conversations; and some Spanish, which has been rusty since grade school. I've thought about learning another European language like Swedish or Hungarian for the insight into being a beginner at languages again.
Ironically, I haven't thought about this before, even as a translator and language teacher. I would go with "possibility," because I like the hopeful connotations with this word and it's from Emily Dickinson's beautiful poem "I dwell in possibility."
I like that Japanese people are very considerate on the whole and that they all strive to get along with each other.
I would like to travel to South Africa, because I have a South African friend and know a few other wonderful people from there. I would like to see what the country is like.
We get to build bridges of communication between people from different countries.
