Hello, I was wondering how good is the Japanese Major program at UGA. My goal for a career is to become a translator/interpreter, teacher, and still considering other options with Japanese. I know that just getting a Japanese major might not be enough by itself for a job, but I still wish to know how the Japanese major is at UGA.

By that I mean, can you actually get fluent in Japanese by learning at UGA, or are there opportunities that only UGA offer in the Japanese field, study abroad in Japan, the quality of instructors (and if they are natives of Japan), etc.

In a whole if I want to know everything about everything about Japanese and become mostly fluent in Japanese (if 100% fluency isn’t possible) would UGA provide most of my needs?

Finally, I wish to know, if I want to become a translator of video games (Japanese to English) does anyone know what majors would go along with a Japanese major?

Thank you in advance.
