I’ve been playing the japanese version of Animal Crossing: Wild World in order to improve my japanese, and while I can understand enough to get by I still find myself stumped sometimes.

Context:
In Animal Crossing the player’s mother will sometimes send them letters about various topics,「エミリー」is my character’s name.

エミリーへ
たまにはね
よわねはくのも
いいものよ
かあさんたまには　たよられたいな
ドーンときなさい　ははより

    Thank you very much!

    For something so short, I feel like it’s packed with his of Japanese that are hard to get the nuance just right in English!

    Yeah, mom’s letters have been the hardest to translate so far…
    I’ll probably make more posts as I continue to learn Japanese, so thanks for creating this community!
