    I'm interested to become a Japanese interpreter, not translator. Anyone knows what courses that I need to take and what's the journey like to become an interpreter in Malaysia? Thanks

          A degree in Japanese studies or a related field can be beneficial. Some universities may offer interpreter training as part of their curriculum

            Look for short courses or workshops that focus on interpreting skills, particularly in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting.

              Fluency in both Japanese and your target language likely Malay or English is crucial. Consider taking advanced language classes if needed

                        As you gain experience, create a portfolio showcasing your work and any relevant projects or events you’ve interpreted for
