Introduction

Welcome dear readers. Welcome to this blog.



Writing this welcoming post to you is the proprietor of this blog, Fadhli Ruhman; a man with ideas and the drive to share them with others.

I am an English Literature study program graduate from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia with an interest to become a Freelance English-Indonesian Translator. I once served as an Indonesian-English translator at an Indonesian news agency called Antara for two years, a junior linguist at PT Indo Lingua Translocalize and now I am here writing this blog post for you.

The creation of this blog was driven by my desire to showcase several writings that I've previously done and perhaps write some new posts related to translation. 

In addition, I also used to write a Wordpress blog named Fiction Realm which is filled with anime-related essays and writings. I created that blog in 2014, and I managed it until 2021. I hesitate in sharing this blog due to the personal nature of some of the matters that I wrote in there and the fact that I did not proofread it much. However, should you be curious, you can see it here. 

You can also reach out to me through my LinkedIn account here. My email address fadhliruhman@gmail.com is also available for you to contact.

Happy reading!

I have come across openings for translator position that specified the necessity for a degree in Englisg, but for the most part it’s not a must-have. The value in English major is really in the education and the network that you obtained in the degree, but even then, it’s something that can also be obtained elsewhere. There is a plenty of English courses...
