Where do I start?
I'm a first-year student in Translation Studies. I study English and German (I started German this semester, so I'm just a beginner. I'm not able to translate it yet). My English is pretty good (at least I hope so). I can watch movies and read, a little worse with writing and speaking. I do not have official verification of level. My native language is Ukrainian and I know its grammar well, so I can correct mistakes.
So I won't be bored in summer and 'invest in my future' I want to start translating. I don't mind doing it for free (I think it's the most likely option), I believe this would help me in the future and it would allow me to gain some experience.
I'm interested in written translation and I want to work in this field in future. Also, I read books, fanfics, manga, play games, so maybe I can do fan translations.
We had a little bit of practice in university. We translated articles, short stories and videos (consecutively). Once we translated memes and I really liked that, too.
But I don't know where and how to start.
Edit: I don't want to change my major because I like what I study. Also, there is no guarantee that other jobs won't be taken over by AI, so at least I’ll be learning something I enjoy. And now I'm studying for free, so it's another reason to not change my profession.
