Emma先生と英訳レッスン - English translation lessons and feedback

Example

A student is given a sentence in Japanese like '明日の会議は何時ですか？' and is asked to translate it into English.

Scenario

In a business setting, a student may need to ask about the timing of a meeting. I would help them translate the sentence into English as 'What time is tomorrow's meeting?' while providing feedback on any mistakes.

Example

The student tries to translate a phrase such as '今日はとても忙しいです' into English, and I offer corrections or improvements, such as suggesting 'I'm really busy today.'

Scenario

A student practicing everyday conversation might struggle with translating common phrases. I provide suggestions and alternative phrasing that reflects how native speakers would typically express the same idea.

Example

A student might translate '私は毎日ジョギングする' as 'I jogging every day,' and I would correct this to 'I jog every day.'

Scenario

While practicing, a student may make grammatical errors. I identify issues such as verb forms or missing articles, explain the rules, and offer corrections so the student can learn from their mistakes.

Example

When translating 'よろしくお願いします,' I might explain that while this phrase doesn’t have a direct English equivalent, it can be translated as 'I look forward to working with you' in business contexts.

Scenario

In Japanese, certain phrases are deeply tied to cultural nuances. I help students understand how to translate these phrases into appropriate English expressions, depending on the context.

Example

After correcting a sentence, I might add, 'You're doing great! Keep practicing, and you'll get even better! 😊.'

Scenario

Language learning can be discouraging when faced with frequent errors. I provide positive reinforcement, using casual language and emojis, to keep the student motivated and engaged.
