I've got some pictures here of it, one is my drawing (sorry, I'm not the best at writing kanji), and also from the book (above か)
 
So if you know what that is and could type it up for me, I'd be really grateful! I've got the rest of the sentence down so I could probably take a guess at it, but I want to be thorough and translate the book for myself properly.
Also, is there any advice you could give on translating long texts? Is the method I'm using bad or good, or is there a more efficient way of going about this?
Thankyou in advance ^_^ |
That is
静 .
Type
しずか and change it to the kanji.
You would need to know much more Japanese than you do now in order to translate a book. You would need to be able to write pretty much what you want to say in Japanese. Any second-grader knows the kanji
静 here.
