Igor Yamanaka (translator)

(1)

I am a young translator, quick to learn and eager to prove myself.

I was born in Brazil to half Japanese parents and when I was still 10 months old I moved to Japan, where I lived until I was 5 and returned to Brazil. From my earliest memories, I've always been curious and interested in reading and learning.

As soon as I could access the internet, I discovered the English language and started learning it by myself. In high school, I was able to participate in advanced English classes that further improved my understanding of it, and even now I still look to polish my skills.

I'm currently studying Japanese language in one of Brazil's most renowned universities, Universidade de São Paulo (USP), and participated in an exchange program in University of Toyama, Japan. During my one year stay, I also volunteered for an educational NGO that aids children with foreign roots living in Japan with their studies, helping with Japanese and English language studies and translating notices to parents and guardians.
