About Grenn

I’m a rookie translator that knows more French than English. English is only my third language and Mandarin is my fourth one. I always want to learn mandarin since young, but I never actually had the time, the dedication and the motivation to do so while I was still a student. I found it quite stressing taking another class on top of what I already had and the need to study another thing, getting homework and tests that won’t even be taken into account when I get my diploma.

After graduating, I realized that time will never be on my side to allow me to learn anything be it a new hobby, a new language or many others interesting things. The reason, I work evening/night shift. OTL With that realization, either I do nothing of my life and bury my numerous mundanes dreams or I find another way. The answer, DIY (do it yourself). Self-learning is…painful, but I still did it with Mandarin. Albeit, first year of learning Mandarin was with a private tutor. The following years until now was self-taught through internet and books. It’s been three years since I start learning Mandarin. I still rely heavily on dictionary and my foundation is shaky, but with times, it will get better and so would my translations.

Oh and I apologize for the often weird sentences in the translations.
