Translator

When my sister came to visit me in Japan, it was towards the end of my stay so I had picked up some Japanese, albeit, not a lot.  I thought I would be able to translate a little.  While we were out and about, I began to realize that what I was translating was not Japanese, but the English that was being spoken with Japanese accents.

The good news is that my sister was teaching English as a second language in the United States so was actually pretty good at understanding what people were saying.  Since she knew some Japanese the interspersed English and Japanese, didn't throw her too much.
