\n\n\nI was first introduced to the mysterious and beautiful country of Japan in 2002. I immediately fell in love with the culture, scenery, and people of Japan. However, at that point I could not speak, read or write Japanese. Determined to understand and communicate with the people around me I began to study Japanese in earnest, and have not stopped studying since. Even after moving back to America two years later, my passion for Japanese has not decreased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
After having children, I decided that I would continue learning Japanese with them. At first teaching them basic vocabulary was easy, but as they got older, I found myself having to study even more diligently in order to keep up with their learning pace! It was at this point that I first contemplated the idea of working in translation. I wanted to be able to explain to my children in Japanese material that I had read or hear in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
As a volunteer, in 2007 I completed my first work of translation. I was astounded at how difficult translation was, and realized that just being fluent in two languages does not make one successful in translation. At this point I began researching various translation schools, but none of them offered a degree in translation. I felt that merely taking a few classes would not be enough to develop skills as a translator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Recently, I heard about Babel University of Translation. Babel is an accredited university that offers a Masters degree in translation, which was exactly what I had been looking for. Furthermore, the working scholarship system allows me to earn my tuition while studying. This was the ideal situation for me, so I immediately applied. To my great delight, I was accepted into the university and working scholarship program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
The Babel university classes are challenging and very well organized. Although I have just begun classes, I have already found myself improving in my translation skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
In the future I hope to work in medical translation. My son aspires to become a doctor, so I have a vested interest in this area. Also, I believe there is a high demand for quality translation in the medical field, which will allow me to be able to hopefully find steady work in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/article>\n\n[:]]]> \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
