Sneha Karati

Sneha Karati, a Japanese enthusiast, began her journey of learning language from a mere interest and desire to be able to read and understand Japanese comics(manga) and animation. Already a graduate from Delhi University in B.A. (Hons.) English, currently she is pursuing her second graduation in Japanese language from the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University. 

"To me language is not just about certain words and phrases you utter as a means of communication; it is an entire lifestyle and comprises of the people and their society and culture".

She has a keen interest in Japanese arts and aesthetics, cuisine, culture, society, history and of course manga. She recently completed her second year of the course(intermediate level) and is suitable for entry level translation. She aspires to reach a level of understanding where she can rely on the knowledge she has acquired over the years with the exposure to the language and its culture and be confident enough to rely less on the tools of translation. 

She is a two times silver medal winner in Shankar's International Drawing Competition and was awarded by former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. Drawing and sketching, one of her favourite hobby, was also a major driving force for her pursuit of Japanese language. She envisions herself to become a future manga translator. 

Apart from sketching, she loves to read and learn new vocabulary and jargon, watch NHK World, TLC and travel and listen to English, Hindi and East-Asian pop-music. 

Currently she is working as an intern at Modlingua Learning, Pvt. Ltd, New Delhi. The major areas where she will bbe developing her skills are Content Writing and Citizen Journalism, Project Management and Quality Standards, Business Development and Entrepreneurship.
