Review
The Routledge Course in Japanese Translation is a stimulating textbook for teaching the theory and practice of translation to and from Japanese. It introduces many abstract concepts from Japanese linguistics, but makes them tangibly understandable for any student of Japanese by utilizing unintimidating explanations with authentic translation examples. This textbook serves as an excellent venue to learn Japanese linguistics, gain insights into translation strategies, appreciate Japanese literature, and significantly improve one’s Japanese language skills.
