Memories of being helped by interpreter A on a trip to Kyoto First of all

My name is Sarah, an American. Last year, I went on a long-awaited trip to Japan.

I had always been interested in Japan, especially its traditional culture and history.

Before my trip, I had studied a little Japanese, but it was still difficult to actually speak it.

So I decided to ask for an interpreter during my trip.

Meeting the Interpreter Company

The interpreter I hired was from a company called General Life Work.

General Life Work is a company that provides services in a variety of languages, including English, Chinese, Korean, as well as Japanese.

I requested an interpreter who could speak both Japanese and English.

The interpreter, Mr. A, was very kind and polite.

He made an effort to understand my Japanese and translated the Japanese I did not understand into English.
