Hello and welcome to my page. Just a bit about me. I have only recently started to learn Chinese and have around 1 year of experience. My goal to learn Chinese comes partly from potentially involving myself in international business in the future, but mainly it comes from wanting to read anime. Also I hate how American's are mainly doing European languages and Spanish as a second language so I guess you can say I also wanted to be "different". Now you might ask "why not just learn Japanese?" I had a lot of Chinese friends who convinced me to go with Chinese and that they can help me. In otherwords, it would be easier for me to learn Chinese due to my surroundings.

I honed my skills through extensive practice and vacationed in China to further my understanding of the language. Even so, Chinese is a tough language to learn so my translations are quite slow. Translations for me are a way of practice and a way of showing my gratitude to the other translators who have taken time out of their schedule to help translate. The least I can do is lessen some of their burden.

I use about 60-70% my own translating(depending on the difficulty of the reading), 15%-20% friends(to help with idioms and difficult terminology), 15%-20% online translating device(for just the single phrases i dont know or for verification). This leads to a bit of choppiness at first, but I'm good at turning the chopped up pieces and forming them into a fluid storyline so please don't let the numbers scare you.

Currently working on Campione! V12. I will try my best to finish all of Volume 12.

V12: Prologue- Finished Part 1-Underway

WARNING: I am a total noob when it comes to technology and that includes this site lol. I don't know how to navigate this thing at all. If you want to contact me on my status or what translations I'm doing please message me here http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=209773
