Teaching pays off

One of my students appears to have won the JAT translation contest, and will be heading to Chicago next year for the IJET conference. She took first place in the J to E division. Congratulations to her! I wish there had been contests like this when I was just starting out . . .

• About Peter Durfee

  I'm a translator and editor in Tokyo, where I first came in 1985. I graduated from the American School in Japan and majored in Japanese at UC Berkeley. Now I'm stuck here! It's all right though; I have a wonderful wife and the cutest baby girl on the planet to keep me company. More info on the About page, or you can write me with all your questions.
