JapanesePod101.com was created with the intent to help people study, but we’ve found out some people even use our tools as a reference for work!
One such individual is Darryl, age 59, from Oklahoma. He works for Hitachi as a technical Japanese translator, a true veteran in his field!
“Since my job at Hitachi is to translate technical drawings, procedures, reports, operating instructions and email communications between our office here and the headquarters office in Japan, I have to use my Japanese-language skills everyday.
If JapanesePod101 was a store, I would call it a “One-Stop Shop” because it provides ALL the tools you need for learning the Japanese language. That’s why it is now my only reference tool. I used to read and listen to Japanese news broadcasts over the internet and look up words in my electronic dictionary when needed (a lot !). Though I will still listen to news broadcasts every now and then, I basically use JapanesePod101 exclusively since it provides all the tools I need for improving my ability in the Japanese language. No other tool or software is needed.”
He translates technical drawings, procedures, reports and operating instructions?! I’m sure that takes quite a vocabulary to do that!
Does anyone else use Japanese on the job? Send us an e-mail and let us know!
