Nina's Nihongo Zone 18 - Amateur Translation (Patreon)

Hello patrons, and welcome to the long-overdue episode 18 of Nina's Nihongo Zone! This month I talk about my first ever attempt at translating a bit of anime - the approximately 14 minute long SDガンダム緊急出撃, or "SD Gundam Scramble."

- Link to the Monokakido Dictionary App website (and a list of all the dictionaries they offer on the app).

- Some pictures of notebook chaos:

POSTSCRIPT:

Even though Thom's skill-level at Japanese is beginner, it turns out that working with another person on the transcribing and translating made it a MUCH more enjoyable project. He worked with me on the final third, and as of today, the project is almost done! We've got one final pass to do, in the interest of making it sound as good as two amateurs can manage.

For the completionists among you who will want to watch the short before we release our podcast episode on it, we plan on sharing the text as a kind of teaser for the new season - keep your eyes peeled for announcements.
