I wanna be an editor

It's not the worst score C2 is the best score. I also got C2 score, but English is my second language Spanish being my first.
English may not be my first language, but it's also my native language because I started learning it in kindergarten.
Spanish is a language I usually use only at home with my parents, and around my city you will find many Hispanic people

practice make perfect read many English books. the more you read the more you will learn how sentences should be connected and where it is correct to punctuate and correct use of tenses, verbs, nouns, ect.

 

it's between yugioh and hearthstone for me, never played anything else...

by the way to edit all you need is to have the right dancing moves

and fix some grammar and spelling errors after rereading

also you often have to do the editor test on websites good luck my young friend!

I don't intend to be a downer, but it wouldn't hurt to take into consideration what I'm about to say. Translating is a thankless job and editing even more so. The majority of websites that are looking for editors will pay you in shekels and beans or just not pay you at all. The bigger websites have strict requirements for their editor, so whether or not you feel you are capable of being an editor will be determined by the tests and requirements that those websites require of you. You say you are Korean, and for obvious reasons, I don't know how proficient you are in the Korean language, but if you feel like you have the capability to do so, try your hand at translation instead. It may or may not be easy for you, but if you have the time to invest, then give it a go. My Korean is fairly mediocre, and when I first started in September of 2016, I was putting out 1 chapter of Etranger a week. However, as I improved and started to grasp the finer nuances of written Korean, I started to put out more and more chapters. To be fair, I'm still fairly slow compared to most of the other Korean translators, but I personally think I put out a respectable amount of work a week. I currently put out 3 chapters of The First Hunter and 3 chapters of The World After the Fall a week (although I will most likely reduce that to 2 chapters of TFH). My point is, it's been 11 months since I first started, and I've improved by leaps and bounds. All it takes is time and dedication.

Thanks, but my Korean is okay at most, like you. Translating is tempting, especially with the revenue. After all, you go to Wuxiaworld and see the money pouring in and it's hard to not be tempted (Qidian, FU). Maybe I will, but I don't know if I should debut. I understand your point, and I appreciate the advice, too. I bid you adieu!

I got C1, ok but maybe a tiny bit lacking. I MTL my own work and then edit them, I also got an editor recently who helps me which is nice because it was a little of a hassle to do both. So far there is only one novel I translate and it is a japanese one. Oh I'm also an editor over at Xant & Minions. No payment but I have one patron on patreon who gives me small amount, miles away from being to live on it.

 

The highest is C2. That means your pretty good.

 

Well it could be better, but I'm not a native English speaker, only a swedish person~. I did take a C1 level course on a trip to Brighton with my school during the Easter break (1.5 weeks). And it was ok~.

 

If you're still looking for something to edit pm@ flowingcloud#2601 on discord. I'm part of Insane Translations translating Max Level Witch and we're currently looking for editors right now.

 

I don't want to dishearten you any further, but if you really want to be an editor - just go for it!
