Is it weird that I'm constantly translating my target language to my source language instead of the other way around unknowingly?
Another title is: why am I doing something like this?
It seems strange for someone to translate a language they know more about into the language they know less about. Should it be the other way around? You're trying to figure out the source language by translating it to the language you're comfortable with, but not me I guess. I'm trying to translate JP>EN but whenever I do it, my mind always draws a blank, like it turns off and I'm fumbling to get my words into a coherent sentence, but when it comes down to doing the reverse, I don't find myself struggling as much. Sure I'm by no means claiming I'm amazing at the job, and I definitely know EN more than JP, but it strikes me as odd that I'm doing what's essentially the harder/reverse version of what I'm trying to do.
