I started translating DoraTama during Covid, mostly as a way of improving my Japanese. I only plan on translating freely-available WNs, and I don’t plan on ever accepting donations. Ulz is also translating here – he joined the DoraTama translation part way through, and is now translating OreAku.
Tips for learning Japanese:
– start by paying attention to the audio of anime
– memorise hiragana/katatana and ~50 most common kanji, using anki or an app
– listen to audiobooks – audible.jp requires a Japanese address to set up an account, but you can spoof any address
– watch Japanese youtube (recommendations: marine, kotorabu)
– set up the Yomichan plugin so you can read any Japanese text
If you need to contact me for anything legal, leave a comment on this page, or email cheldrath (at) gmail.com.
Hello, my name is Bob smith. I’ve been reading the light novels that you have been translating for a while now and I am a fan of them. i wanted to ask you some questions about them if you don’t mind?
