The long PS to the previous post.

I kinda felt the need to write this out of my system, so, um.

It's a bit of a honest entry, and like such not terribly exciting, so feel free to skip this one. :)

I like reading honest entries.. Though I haven't been following enough to really understand what you're talking about *hides*

Now that I've tried translating myself (more of Chinese to English cos' my Japanese is still at a far too basic level), I understand what you're saying by trying to be as accurate as possible.

Did you do okay for the exam that will let you go Japan for exchange?

It's good that we have idols to motivate us ne? ;) *huggles*

*encourages you to continue translating* It really improves your efficiency, and what better way of studying is there but to study while having fun? :D

The exchange exam is what didn't work out this year, but I'm definitely trying again next year. :)

Motivation is a balm to the soul, no matter what kind. :)

Thank you! Study while having fun is good ;) By the way, do you use any online Japanese translator? I'm currently using Excite but I thought it will be good to have more resources..

Ah, I see. All the best to you for next year's exam!! ♥

No, I only use JWPCE, which is basically a word editor, but with a built-in dictionary function, so you can look up words within the text. I also have an electronic dictionary with a lot of thesauruses, cause it's essential for university work. :)

I usually don't trust online translators, but I checked this Excite one, and it seems to be pretty good. I know Babelfish is *terrible*, though.

Thank you~ ♥

Ah, I've heard of JWPce before but I didn't go and download it. I shall go figure it out this weekend, thanks for the heads-up!

*laughs* I use both Excite and Babelfish cos' Excite can be terrible sometimes too (but Babelfish is more terrible) XD
