Course content
The course develops basic translation skills of the students from Japanese and to Japanese, which they will need to successfully master all further disciplines related to the "Translation" block. During classes, working with internet news, texts from Japanese-language blogs aimed at foreigners, and oral texts, students have the practical opportunity to: 1) enrich their vocabulary with up-to-date words and phrases used in real-life speech; 2) observe how the grammatical structures of the basic Japanese language function in texts other than those of textbooks; 3) learn the basic principles of translation from Japanese (translating a sentence from the end, searching for the grammatical basis before starting translation, working with adjective phrases, etc.). Self-study of students includes work with news, blogs and videos on the Internet, as well as mastering new vocabulary and grammatical constructions that they have found in texts for translation.
