Hi all,

Apologies for not checking in. As usual, I have been working and using Anki every day.

There is one person here who likes to say that I speak "broken
Norwegian." It always makes me feel so self-conscious and awkward, so it's good that
you are able to laugh off that kind of thing.

The guy who insulted my Japanese is kind of a goofball who is rude to everyone so I
didn't take it personally. Even if he had been entirely serious I don't think it would
have really bothered me. At this point I know that I like studying languages but that
I'm not particularly good at them.

When a Japanese says your Japanese is bad you've actually reached a
quite respectable level. When your Japanese is still really low all they say is 日本語は
とてもお上手ですね. :)

I have also found this to be true, which is another reason I didn't get annoyed.

こんにちは

母国語への翻訳も難しいところがある。日本語とヨーロッパの諸国語は「概念」がかなり違うので（ヨーロッパ諸国語は単語が違っても同じ「概念」が多いと思う）、語彙と文法の問題だけでなく、正しく解釈することも必要だ。テキストによってこれはすごく難しくなる可能性もあると思う。

「偶然翻訳者」、いる！（笑）例えば、外国語ができる失業した専門家（技術科等）は翻訳者になる場合もある。

日英翻訳者の試験はそこにある？ここにあるけど、非常に難しいという評判がある。受験者が少ない。

Apologies for not really participating in this challenge.

I spent this year working as a freelance J>E patent translator. It was my first year
working from home (well, mostly Starbucks) and it went pretty well. I got some new
clients and didn't lose any old clients so I'm now at the point where I may have to get
some help or start refusing more work.

This year I also ended up making friends with some Spanish speakers and doing regular
conversation exchanges with them in the mornings so my Spanish probably improved more
than my Japanese. Spanish is a way to unwind from Japanese I guess!

Anyway, I will now have a think about where to focus my energy in 2014.

Happy New Year to you all!

I keep finding the word 母国語 which, based on the Kanjis, obviously means "mother language/mother tongue/native language", but how to read them? Hahakokugo? Kaakokugo?
