I started studying Japanese in earnest in March 2022 after get frustrated while reading one too many shoddy scanlations. Since starting, I've gained a lot of respect for just how difficult and nuanced translation can be, but I also look forward to understanding Japanese directly and making my own interpretations from now on.
Finding out about this website has been a great boon for my studies and has made me eager to challenge more difficult material. This website also has me taking more of an interest in anime; not normally a fan but the listening practice has been invaluable. If anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears.
Nice to meet you!
