Welcome to the Translation Club Online!

We are excited to meet you every two weeks on Tuesday. In this event, we will be translating Japanese texts into English with people from all over. This is open to anyone interested in learning either language and understanding more about these cultures.

Join us with the zoom link mentioned in the location from 20:00, no password required!

Before the event:

1. Download ZOOM so you can fully participate (extra features)
2. Check your camera and microphone is working (we want to connect!)
3. Make sure you have a quiet space (so we can all focus) , ideally a headset or headphones with a microphone on it.
4. Bring an open mind ready to explore new ideas!

If you have any issues you can reach out to Patrick on patrick@lifecrack.asia.

• What we'll do
Each session is an opportunity to do group translation, enjoy general social time and reflect on the translation process, i.e. specific vocabulary, sentences which were difficult/insightful, etc. We form groups of 3 to 5 people with some native speakers of English, and some native speakers of Japanese.
There is a text for us to translate together, we need to use both of the group languages (e.g Japanese and English) to complete the translation. The texts are recent articles about contemporary cultural or social issues.

This is one of the few language exchange events in Tokyo that cater to Intermediate to Advanced learners of Japanese and native speakers. We have a core of dedicated language learners who come every week and tackle a different text on a different topic.

The workshops are great for English and Japanese learners and speakers who want to develop their knowledge of language and meet other people who speak their language.

• Standard agenda for a session:
20:00-20:15: Introduction
20:15-21:15: Group Translation
21:15-21:30: Discussion time, learning sharing.

• Important to know

1. This event is entirely free... And in order to keep it this way, we need to be able to calibrate the room for the amount of participants, so please, keep us updated about your participation!
2. If you arrive later than 20:15, please send us a message! (We won't allow anyone past 20:15 for the sake of the group dynamics)
