My wife works in a dental clinic. One of the staff, a Japanese lady, will be getting married soon in Japan. She has a sister that lives in Canada who is married to a Canadian man. Her sister will be coming to her wedding in Japan with her Canadian husband, who doesn’t understand Japanese. The couple getting married wants to give the Canadian a short letter at the wedding party in English. However they can’t write it in English themselves. Knowing that my wife, who is Japanese, is married to me, a Canadian, they asked my wife if I could translate a letter into English for them. My wife asked me and I of course agreed to do it. My wife read it to me in Japanese. I was surprised how well I understood the Japanese. With some help from my wife I was able to translate the letter into English. I am very happy to have been able to help this Japanese couple communicate with a foreigner at their wedding party.
