It'd be better to learn Japanese and then translate it into Spanish straight from the source, because you lose a bit every time you translate something into another language do to mistakes, interpretations, adapting things, etc.

There's your evidence for ya.


P.S. Didn't mean to bust you out, Mare, just proving your point.

So so mmm you prove a point. I was wondering if i were to take lessons in japanese. how deep in the language must i understand to start translating stuff? Year =P decades? mmmm? any light on my day =)

haha then again you do know japanese.. mmm and spanish isn't that hard =) yalla! What do you say =3?

Well, I'm in fourth year Japanese at college now.

oh.. that long . It's cool. I'll try and find some classes in japanese after i finish my arabic lessong =).

On the side note I am listening to ladybird girl more and more it's cool =)

To start translating in japanese, well it's kinda hard, but I enjoy it. I have 2 years and the hard part about translating is only having the kanji of the song. If you have hiragana/katakana it can be fairly easy, or sometimes complicating, but ehh if you wanna study it, go ahead its afun language

Ummmm...the only way you can accurately translate is with the kanji of the song, since there are tons of words with the same pronunciation but different kanji, plus there can at times be ways to rearrange hiragana into different words than it would be if you had the kanji, causing further mistakes. :/

Kanji can be a little difficult, but i have found it ok, not that challenging.

I'd say 2-3 years to get a good base of grammar knowledge, depending on the rigor of your study. After that it's just expanding on that and learning bajillions of kanji. I started translating lyrics without too much trouble after my 2nd year or so... stuff that was utterly incomprehensible after 1 year started making sense then.
