Hi everyone! My name is Grace and this is my first post for Kumamoto International. I lived in Kumamoto from 2012 to 2013 as a university exchange student. After leaving Kumamoto I did a Master’s degree in translation studies and then became a professional translator. Kumamoto will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’m excited to help share interesting news and info about Kumamoto with all of you readers here.
Though this first link I’m going to share isn’t directly related to Kumamoto, I wanted to take the opportunity to talk a bit about translation and the translation-related career paths available to any of you who may still be students or who may be considering a future career working with Japanese. Think of it as a peek into the world of a professional translator, if that’s something you happen to be curious about!
Over the next week or so I’m going to try to bring this back around into a more focused discussion about Kumamoto (and dialects in the area), so stay tuned. :)
-Grace
