The girl from Portugal sounded like a native American speaker of English.
For real
I wanna be like her
I'm pretty sure the majority of Europe speaks English. Especially younger people. To add, a lot of Europeans have American accents because they learn English from American TV.
She is probably an American with Portuguese ancestry. Lots of Americans have some sort of shame saying they´re from the US due to stereotypes.
@@Ryan-ul7dy Maybe, but my siblings and I were always mistaken for americans in school and we never left Europe. We just moved to English speaking country and learned english from the simpsons :)
@@MaksoTheBass yeah but unless you are exposed from a very young age and are speaking the language then as well you will almost always take on some level of a foreign accent. You may be able to pass as an american by saying short phrases such as giving directions but it will become apparent you are not native during a conversation even if you have perfect english. That is why I think she was raised in the US most likely despite having Portuguese ancestory.
she said 70% and 40% because in Japan you have to give 110% effort 😂
hahah was searching for this comment...he was seconds away from laughing at her XD
if you think about how bad her english is for a teacher i think she just misspronuced 30 cuz they sound so similar
@@Rjean-paul i know its true
😂
@@aryannegi9414 😂
I've taught English in Japan for 30 years. For the first 15, I was an ALT. It took me a full 15 years to become literate enough to get a teaching license from a Japanese university, which my school facilitated by giving me a year's hiatus and an interest-free loan. Once I obtained my teaching license, my status was upgraded to full-time, salaried teacher and my salary increased considerably. People can't expect to advance in the workplace if they are functionally illiterate. Advancement is very much possible if you have the same credentials as Japanese teachers, meaning a teaching license from a Japanese university.
From an out-of-Japan perspective it seems like there are quite a lot of foreigners who teach English in Japan. However, the amount of people who can speak at least some English is not that high in Japan. Many people can understand some basic words (food names, goods names, names of tourist attractions) but are unable to say more than one sentence. Since you have an outstanding amount of experience in teaching English in Japan. What do you think is the reason for the situation I described above? Can it be blamed on the poor teaching skills of foreigners? Or is it something else?
@@aGGeRReS It’s primarily due to the fact that Japanese high schools teach students to pass entrance exams, rather than for communication. Entrance exam content for good Japanese universities would be difficult for native English speakers. It’s native speaker university level. Japanese high school students are required to learn in 3 years what it takes a native speaker 20 to acquire. English conversation ability is not the goal of most Japanese...unless they are genuinely interested in English. Most students aren’t interested in English. English is foisted on them and they study it begrudgingly. It’s the same reason most Canadians can’t speak French, even though we have to learn it in school. We’re not interested in learning French and we don’t need it to survive. Japanese don’t need English because they have a strong economy and can find a good job which requires no English. These are a few of the reasons most Japanese don’t speak English. That said, many are fluent and those who are have far better grammar than most native speakers.
@@gordonbgraham the lack of motivation is understandable reason. However, as a person that have some experience in teaching (not English or any other language) I can't understand how a teacher can just teach for the test and not for the knowledge. Even though this happens in other subjects and other countries. This should be frustrating and such teachers should burn out fast.
@@aGGeRReS It’s a matter of addressing the students’ needs and wants. Competition is high in education in Japan. Parents choose schools based on the number of graduates that enter prestigious universities. There’s a lot to cover in the span of 3 years. Teachers are tasked with teaching the entirety of English grammar and vocabulary that it takes a native speaker into adulthood to acquire. It’s not like students aren’t acquiring knowledge. But, it’s like being able to read and write Mozart but not being able to play the piano. Which is the opposite for most foreigners living in Japan, most can speak Japanese after a few years, very few can read and write even after living here for 10 or more years.
@Daenack Dranils the malcontent whose failure is everyone's fault but his own
JET Programme ALT here. The guests said it right. It's not really that difficult to teach English to elementary and junior high school students. Generally, the Japanese teachers are really nice and very helpful. But if you want to extend your network with other Japanese teachers and staff, learning Japanese language is necessary. Though you teach English, it helps a lot in your job.
Feel you bro. Same happened to me. Despite a lot of effort, I simply couldn't surpass a certain level of Japanese prowess and for that reason my life in Japan became ridiculously depressing. Mostly felt like an outcast in the end and left. In the same breath, a huge part of me wishes I could try over with a different perspective of the place.
jpanese is torturee
Yes, but you were/are on the JET Programme. If you work for a private middleman you can be worked to death. It all depends on the contract and how the schools decide to use you.
The second women is the most attractive person I've ever seen 😭
İranian women are so beautiful as roses
Seems like being beautiful is a prerequisite to teach English in Japan.
I agree lol!
Yeah i find countries around persia attractive.
The first one is cuter in my opinion
Well the lady from Iranian did really well. There was useful information and she ended up speaking in good Japanese as well as mentioning she had other useful skills to rely on for work such as dancing and modelling. I also think she was able to make the interview "above" what the interviewer (Takeshii) was asking and that too is a good outcome: To understand more than what the questions ask. It is a good part of making communication human and enjoyable.
Agreed. And she was quite attractive, so I'm sure it wasn't difficult for her to find students. Takeshi's questions are almost always very basic. He rarely digs for clarity, more information, or examples which limits the interview's potential...and he makes eye contact with the camera sometimes that makes it seem like he's impatient. A massive red flag.
I loved my time as an English teacher at in eikaiwa. I especially loved teaching the toddlers, it's mostly playing with educational resources, using colors, toys, etc. I also had a Japanese co-teachers who would translate instructions in Japanese. My colleagues and I were really close and they always spoke English whenever an English teacher was in the break room. We also went out for food, bars, outings, so it's nice to have instant friends and also have social outings with everyone from work.
Hello there. I hope you’re doing well, im currently working on a research proposal about teaching english in japan.
I would really appreciate it if u give me a social media of yours and help me in some ideas and tell me the issues japans universities and schools have. I really appreciate it!! I will show you my topic as well to see if its good enough!!
懐かしい！I used to work at Aeon, and had a similar experience. ALT work is definitely easier, but I still kind of miss those days.
@@Jordan-inJapan is there any applications or a way so that i can apply for a teaching job?! Im from iraq and i want to move to japan
@@marshallmhamad I checked online and unfortunately Iraq is not one of the participating countries in the JET program. (This is always a good first option to try.) So I guess you’re stuck with searching around online for companies that hire internationally. Good luck! And good luck with that research too!
@@Jordan-inJapan thanks soo much exactly i also wanted to apply through JET but didnt work. I will still try my best
the woman from iran is absolutely beautiful
The Portuguese lady was much more beautiful
Her English pronunciation is weird,
Thanks for the video! I wonder if at some point, you could interview foreigners who have jobs that are less common for foreigners? I hear a lot about English teachers, models, and people who do international business, but I'm curious about professions like scientists, musicians, lawyers, engineers, doctors, etc.
Hello Peter, I am a scientist. Are you curious about something? 🙂
Any bodybuilders in Japan? How illegal and available are steroids there?
@@paolomartizzi164 Hi Paolo! Thanks for replying to my comment! There are many things I'm curious about 😁 Did your status as a foreigner make it easier or harder to get hired as a scientist? I've heard that Japan generally values conformity over diversity. Do you feel like your diverse background is appreciated by your organization? Is it necessary to speak fluent Japanese at your job? I've heard that business people have unhealthy work environments (working 12+ hours per day, forced to go drinking with their bosses after work, etc). What is your work environment like as a scientist?
@@peterj6721 Hello Peter, how much hard it really depends from the institution that is offering the job position. For example, how much they are open to foreigner staff. For what I know, unless you don't have a strong internal recommendation, it's very difficult to have a permanent job (I mean in university or research institutions). In my laboratory I am quite independent, and I have no strict rules but usually foreigners are expected to make more results than japanese at the same level, especially in publishing papers. About japanese, at the early stage maybe you don't need but since 90% of paperwork is in japanese, and maybe you have to interact with people in japanese, it's better to have at least upper intermediate japanese.
@@paolomartizzi164 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! Is your ability to speak English useful in your laboratory, or do you find that your English skills aren't really needed there? Also, do you normally publish papers in English or in Japanese?
6:20…I noticed your reaction to the second interviewer not exactly getting those percentages correct but you kept it together and kept it professional despite the innocent mistake, that’s a sign of a great interviewer my friend..:)
Good job she didn't teach maths 😂
I noticed that too, the slight smile on Takashi's face after she made those percentages. I thought it was funny, but he was so polite and didn't say anytihing that I have to give him credit for that.
I’ve lived in Japan and taught English here for more than 20 years, so I just wanted to share some of my experience. First of all, not all the English teachers here are happy with the situation. Japan isn’t an easy place to live for everyone. Your personality and of course the specific situation you end up in make a big difference. Generally speaking the pay is decent, especially if it’s your first job and you don’t have any dependents. I should mention though that English teacher salaries DON’T really increase with experience or time. (And transitioning to another line of work in Japan isn’t easy either.)
The work situation is also really different depending whether you work at a private conversation school, as a dispatch company ALT, or JET ALT. The latter is definitely the cushiest option, but hard to get into.
Well I could go on forever but I think I’ll wrap this up now. If anyone has any specific questions, I’d be happy to answer.
Thank you for sharing this experience. I would like to ask if it's possible to teach english in Japan even if I have problems speaking in public and my japanese is very beginner level. And I'm not native english speaker either. Would it be still possible to do and is it possible to live off solely from that? I'm from eastern europe and we are used to have at least 2 jobs to make amends and teachers here rarely earn enough to be able to live off teaching so I wonder how it is in Japan.
Thank you! My dauhter and I want to go to Tokyo in a year for her 15th birthday. I want to learn the language, or basic stuffs to get around. We are planning to stay for a month. However, we'd like to visit Okinawa, I learned that they speak a different dialect there. Any tips?
@@ganndalf202 you don’t have to be a good public speaker. Being in front of a group of students is quite a different thing than addressing an audience. I have a few friends (currently JET ALTs) who are very shy people and they have both gotten quite comfortable teaching public school kids, even though they looked really nervous at first. Their speaking voices have gotten much louder as well.
And the non-native-speaker thing. The truth is, it’s much easier to get hired if you are a native speaker from a country that people associate with English. (This is especially true in the private sector.) It doesn’t mean you won’t get hired, it just means you have to prove yourself first, and your first job could be lower-paying than it would otherwise. That said, it’s all about timing. When a school/company really needs a teacher, they won’t be so picky. (As long as you can speak well, of course.)
I recommend checking if the JET Program has a connection in your country, and try applying there first. If that doesn’t work out, research your other options.
Finally, as for the money, not all teaching jobs pay well…but most pay enough that you can support yourself and save a little. (You can actually live quite cheaply in Japan, if you’re careful.)
I hope that helps. Good luck!
@@Jordan-inJapan I'm from east europe, if I can get paid enough to support myself and have a decent life while learning about a different culture, that's good enough for me. I originally wanted to try to study in Japan but I don't think I will be able to save enough money for that so working will probably be more important for me.
Would japanese or english profeciency tests be helpful in this or it wouldn't matter?
And thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
@@ganndalf202 generally speaking, it’s not a requirement. But as someone from a country not typically associated with English language, it might be helpful for you to have in some situations.
Great choice for a thumbnail, because that Iranian women is a stunner.
Today I interviewed English teachers in Japan.
What kind of job is common for foreigners in Japan ? Let me know and I’ll interview people !
And this month I’m gonna visit Okinawa and Nagoya which is my hometown, anyone who lives there DM me on Instagram!
Wow waiting for this. Okinawa is so beautiful, man when I'm gonna go.
That Girl from Iran liked you hehe.....
What about a hafu who lived in Tokyo as a kodomo, kindergarten to 9th grade, then moved to the US, had to give up my Japanese passport when I was 18 while living in the US, still do, and now want to move back to Tokyo. What would I need to do?
@Daenack Dranils Why that, i never have been in Japan but i plan in the near future to go.
@Daenack Dranils Somehow sad and the English lessons in the school are useless therefore, the invest into something that never is going to be used, I personly liked to learn other languages. I think everyone has his own point of view, Thank you very much.
I was really surprised for some reason seeing the lady from iran ... since I'm from iran too, I personally have loved teaching since my childhood and I came to find japan as my absolute favorite country , falling in love with the language and culture ... I'd love to one day see myself in japan infront of a classroom
The first woman from Portugal almost sounds like she's from the American Midwest.
Omg, these people said so many useful information. Thank you so much for this video, Takashii.
Certified teachers, math teachers, gym teachers, first grade teachers, can be hired at Japanese international schools in the major cities. These schools take great care of teachers and you will be teaching in English with teachers from all over the world and children from every continent. It is a great way to get into Japan and stay for years as a professional. I did it. It was a blast.
Hi Lima 👋 can I ask you about the salary in these international schools?? When I think about the idea of moving to japan, I feel worried about the salary. I appreciate your answer 🙏
@@CharlasiOS It was long ago. I came back to the States with a nice savings from it. I highly recommend if you are a certified teacher. We all traveled all over Asia during breaks. The best adventure.
What kind of degree is needed?
Takashi, your videos are super interesting and your style really brings out good content. Thank you for your service.
Ah the 70/40 split we all needed
😂😂
70%+40%=100%🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@beliasbr3103 big hrain
There is a saying, always give 110 percent in whatever you do.
At least she teaches English and not math.
I feel your content offers so much qualitative insight on experiences with different social groups in Japan. It really helps break down social barriers and tells other people’s truth without offending others. It’s awesome! Love this content! You could develop a research project with these videos. Just an opportunity to consider. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Taka San couldn't stop smiling with lady #2, I feel like he thought she was absolutely beautiful and he couldn't help his smile! I wouldn't be able to stop either she was beautiful like an elegant goddess or something!
I know right, she is so stunning! It's impossible not to notice.
IKR
Agreed! I was looking for this comment lol. Glad someone else noticed…
I’ve thought of this as my way to get to Japan! Thank you for posting this. Super valuable insight 🙏🏽
I’m so glad there was a Filipino included in this interview. I’m a Filipino myself, and I am planning to be an English teacher in Japan as well. I’m glad to know he’s doing well.
Also I’m really thankful to have found your channel, Takashi-san! It’s been a great help and a great guide to know more about the country and to strengthen my resolve to work in a foreign place. >
Hi dude/gal, Indonesian here! Should we make up to get along to do so? Fairly curious to collaborate as our nations nearby 😊
As an English teacher, this topic is really interesting! Thanks Takashii
Hello there. I hope you’re doing well, im currently working on a research proposal about teaching english in japan.

"I'm from Portugal" girl says with American accent. I feel you, I'm Finnish or German when I'm in Japan. xD
Awesome video!
When I was in university in Japan, I took over my friends eikaiwa job because I was running out of money and another friend tried to get me to work with her at an Izakaya but I was not confident to maintain constant Keigo at that time. Teaching adults was really engaging and fun. Teaching elementary level students was terrifying. Not many English speakers in the town I was in so they don't have much exposure. I tried not to use any Japanese with the adults but I was forced to with the kids. I hope they didn't give up after tho...
Unfortunately after a couple years my boss forgot who I was when I went back... Even tho he got me in the newspapers and on an NHk interview to promote his school.. and he also forgot to pay us a couple of times .. yea he was a bit much....
but I still go visit and maintain a good relationship with my adult students when I go back.. it was a really fun experience overall. I would do it all over again if I could.. despite the weird interactions my fellow eikaiwa teachers and i had with our boss....
Wow nice, a portuguese person interviewed 😁 and she's gorgeous and kinda cute! 😳Greetings from Portugal!! 🇵🇹😁
its so nice to see a Portuguese Woman in Japan its kinda rare I would say, best greeting from France AND viva PORTUGAL
Her English is very fluent too
I used to teach at a conversation school in Tokyo, and overall it was a very good experience! I met many great people (staff and students) with interesting backgrounds, and it was rewarding to see my students’s English level increase! Most of the students were around 23-35, but a lot were also much older, like 60s and 70s!
That’s awesome. I’m 58 and just starting to learn Japanese.
@@flashgordon6510 がんばって！😎
@MrChelseaDan hi there. Can you help me with some ideas for my research in English teaching. I just want you to tell me the issues that japanese universities and schools have. If you give me a social media of yours i would appreciate it!!
@@marshallmhamad hey man, I’m probably not the best person to ask, since the conversation school I worked at isn’t like a typical high school/college etc, so the teaching style was very different! From what I’ve read online and heard from others, the main problems are:
- Teachers having a low English level
- Lack of conversational practice
- Boring classes
- Textbook English is taught, opposed to realistic English
There are plenty of resources online you can check out which will help you much more than I can! Good luck with your research 🙏
@@MrChelseaDan thanks alot by the way!
Very nice video. I had planned ti tutor english abroad, possibly in Spain and considering Japan... but then my grandchildren were born so i put it on hold. This really makes me feel like i need to consider it again.
Oooh! I did not know you were from Nagoya ! I have lived here for four years now with my husband and am going to start working in a JHS from next week so I’m on TH-cam watching so many videos because I am so nervous ! Hahaha these people gave me some idea of what it may be like and I’m so grateful to you all for sharing ! Thanks so much.
Uma portuguesa aqui 🇵🇹🇵🇹 Quem diria ^^
I worked as english teacher during my graduate school and I taught english to both kids and university students. I always had a lot of fun with the elementary school students, less with university students 😂 I agree that knowing japanese really helps to explain words meaning 🙂
@Paolo Martizzi Hello there. I hope you’re doing well, im currently working on a research proposal about teaching english in japan.

Hello Takashi-san! I’m new here and I really love your way of questioning. Very easygoing and natural, never an awkward moment. Great video!
We need "How was it? That was interesting!" merch ! Haha. Love the vids Takashii 👍
hahaha i loved it !
Here, here!
Yup!
😂😂
Iranian people are so cool. Omg my friend who is also iranian, she speaks like that too and is soooo cuteee aaahh
Beautiful people too
It was fun seeing Sophi show up in your video (she has her own TH-cam channel that is fun to watch). I had wondered where she was from, with her accent in English and then not always being fluent in Japanese.
Keep up the good work! You provide insightful information on the day-to-day life of a person in Tokyo, and that is very interesting.
Thanks for the vid! As a linguistics major studying Japanese, this is something I was seriously considering.. It's nice hearing about how it is
Omg I’m going to be going to uni for the same degree! If you don’t mind me asking, how was it? Did you enjoy the course? What was most interesting about it?
@@chailayama2904 こんにちは～ I'm actually still currently enrolled and have about 2 more years of Uni ahead of me. I absolutely love it so far! Its nice studying something you're passionate about. My Japanese professors are all so wholesome and I genuinely look forward to class each day.
I'd say the most interesting / fun part about it is just getting more immersed into Japanese culture itself. Their culture has really become worldwide both across the internet and irl. Once you become familiar with a new language, it really broadens your horizons on what you can experience in life - so I'm really excited for my future. A bonus is that once you learn how to read Kanji 漢字, you can understand some written Chinese. Korean is also very similar to Japanese, so learning Japanese essentially opens you up to three cultures in one as they all share some similarities.
I plan on using my knowledge of computer science and linguistics degree to maybe work at a Japanese game company one day in Japan. Nintendo would be a dream :)
May your university adventures be wonderful, and I wish you the best of luck to your future! 頑張ってください
@@clay2889 sorry for the late response! I’m so glad you’re enjoying your course and thank you very much for responding 😊😊 wishing you all the best
I used to teach at a university in Japan and it really was good money. It was not really an English class but more about social sciences-related classes like sociology, policy science, etc. It was taught in English and the majority of students were foreigners or international students. I enjoyed it. But you can teach for 5 years, 10 years there and still don't get tenured. Recently, it's difficult for foreigners to get a tenured position in a university especially for non-native speakers of English even if the classes are not about the English language. So instead of moving to another university in Japan after my contract ended I came back to the Philippines. The salary here in RP is just 1/3 of my salary in Japan but the good thing is I don't rent a house (I have my own) and at least, I don't walk that much here which is good for my knees. :)
*still not get tenured
70% don't need, 40% need. I love her and we must protect her at all costs.
Sooooooo many English teachers in Japan….. Soooooooooo many Eikawa inJapan….. Soooooooooo many English Schools in Japan….. And nobody can speak English properly in Japan….. To tell you how good those teachers are….
To learn a language, you need the interest. Tbh, several countries are interested in Hollywood which has become a part of their culture at least within the young generation which is why they know some English. Likewise, some otakus/koreaboos also know a bit of the languages of the respective countries.
This very accurate 😂
I’ve hosted Asian students from China, Korea, and Japan. The WORST English speaking students were from Japan. They came to California to attend an English language school. Unfortunately during their stay there was very little improvement to their language skills. We finally had to revert communicating by texting each other. The best group of students came from China. Their grasp of the English language and fluency was commendable.

that middle eastern girl was so fine!! like dang i have a fatal attraction for her!!
Takashii is sooooo adorable. So handsome. 🥰
I have seen many of the youtube video's where you have to learn at least basic Japanese if you want to really want to live or you are coming as a student in Japan like most of the people in Japan speaks Japanese only very few of them speak english fluently.
This is the good idea to became an english teacher in Japan it is easy to get a job and you are well payed ( And the above information are from youtube video's that I have seen so far )
Girl from Portugal and guy from the Phillipines most likely grew up in English speaking countries based on their accents
You have the best videos, I appreciate them man.
Thank you for this interview about this topic. Very informative.
this is a good topic, because i know somebody that want to teach english in japan
0:23 the guy on the bike used invisible spell
Thank You so much for all that You do TAKASHii 🙏🏼💯✨
Thank you for this. I've been kicking around the idea of becoming a Japanese/English interpreter or instructor once I retire from my current job, and I've been looking into what it takes to make that happen. Something like this makes me think that's it's not such a crazy idea, after all.
The lady from Portugal is the most beautiful English teacher so far, So I’m sure many would love to learn English with her lol
I am a Filipino and I really want to go there in Japan and work as a English Teacher. I am a college graduating student currently taking up Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education major in Industrial Arts. I hope that I can go there and adapt the culture as well.
LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED. I actually have a great friend who lives in your home town of Japan. I've seen a few of your videos come up on my recommendations list but I was amazed to find out how helpful this website is for people that are fascinated with Japan, and sharing their thoughts and options as both foreigners and natives in Japan
I love these kind of videos Takashii keep up the great work!
7:07 this was a genuine moment right here :)
I have been binge-watching you videos Takashi because I really love a lot about Japan and one thing I noticed is those Persian/Iranian girls are all beautiful. I'm a Filipino working in an arab country and I'm kinda not really surprised that women here are mostly good-looking even though we don't see their faces but I was kinda intrigued with how the Iranians look so it was a bit of a surprise for me. Also, that Filipino guy you interviewed, no one from the Philippines can tell that he is a Filipino, he looks like a mestizo/half white and I was shocked when he told you he is from the Ph.
your interviewing skills and English was so good with the first girl
Great vid! I hear all different things about teaching English there, but they sounded pretty positive. I'd love to see a vid about other jobs for foreigners
Hi Takashiii, I love your channel. It is a good way to know more about Japan and the people, specially the young people.
You're gaining lots of subscribers man! Great job! Keep on grinding out the amazing content.
Oh I was an ALT for middle school. I love Nagoya!
I'm currently an Eikawa teacher in a major city in Japan and I'm fortunate that I love what I am doing and the company really take care of us.
We start our day after lunch time because our classes are always on late side of the day. The kids' English ability varies, usually those who stayed long enough in eikaiwa can comprehend. Unfortunately, they cannot speak straight English yet and they still have a hard time coming up with good sentences. But, it's a fulfilling job to me and I'm happy to stay.
Which company?
Hello Kayem! Would you please mention the Eikaiwa you work at? Are you a native-English speaker?
@@karinajames4367 hi Karina. It’s called Peppy Kids Club
@@FarrelAlvieri hi Farrel. It’s called Peppy Kids Club. No, I’m not a native. Cheers!
6:49 I love how her mannerisms immediately shifted and looked and sounded Japanese
I know it's very hard to learn English for Japanese people but your English is really good. Surprisingly your don't have any kind of accent, i think you developed your way of talking to English and i understand everything. Love you and your English. Have great life 👍
Man your channel is awesome
I plan to learn Japanese soon (already know some words and a little bit of Katakana/Hiragana)
I am Brazillian, did you know we have the biggest Japanese community outside of Japan?
Best regards Takashii
Japanese Brazilian video coming soon man
@@takashiifromjapan Can't wait
Thank you for making this video, Takashii. I've been wondering about it. Have a wonderful day and blessings to you 🙏🎉
A lot of information to know about japan..
Thank you for this video.
good lord, the one from Tehran, Iran is beautiful !!! I never knew that Iranian women are such beauties.
70% no need, 40% need. She is indeed a model 6:26
😂😂😂
The Iranian woman was actually featured in Japan Explorer and Japan Experience.
Can you please name the videos? I would like to see.
I did my first 2 years in Japan at Gaba and found it soul destroying. It was the first and only job I had applied for but I eventually made the choice to have a go finding something I’d enjoy and find more challenging or leave Japan, as I really didn’t want to get stuck in that rut.
I did some networking and got a trainee job trading stuff for banks and 15 years later I’m still at the same place, which has made such a huge difference to my life. It was really really hard trying to learn a new line of business in a language I didn’t really understand for my first 2 years trading. Admittedly there were some dark moments due to pressure in those years but I got through them and life was onwards and upwards from there.
If you want to make a leap in Japan, get out and meet people as much as you can and have the confidence to just go for it.
@@missplainjane3905 disclaimer: lived in South Korea, the US, Japan, Switzerland, and France and speak full fluency of Korean, English, and Japanese, and intermediate level of French.
1)Obviously yes.
2)Traditional culture: 9 Modern culture:8 Tech:9 Architecture: 7 Food: 9 Local products: 3 Landscape: 4 Quality of life: 9
3) Trustworthy, logical, civilised, good work ethic
4) Better experience as a foreigner than in the US and Europe. If the meeting time is 3pm most of Japanese people arrive before 3pm. Never seen a French arrived at the time.
@@missplainjane3905 The answer to the first question cannot be done within a sentence. Deviation within those 'western countries' are bigger than the 'average difference' between 'western countries' and Japan, let's say. That is, too much generalization.
Again, answer to the second question is similar. There is as much difference as between Japan and Switzerland, from Japan and Korea. I can answer to more specific questions, e.g. housing prices, food cultures etc, but not such questions.
@@missplainjane3905 Depends where you've been raised and visited. If you are from north america and not afraid of going other countries, then I would suggests Japan. You'll have a great experience. If you are bit withdrawn then try to visit Europe first.
It's pretty clear to see what motivated Alexander the Great to conquer Persia and it's many fine treasures.
Huge fan from Chicago! Keep up the good work you’re gonna blow up sooner than you think!
Haha I could tell that Takashii got a little crush on the Iran model ..
Him trying not to laugh when she got the percentages wrong 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I was so lonely as an ALT... I loved the students though and miss them a lot
As for Hello Sensei, I've had some strange experiences 😅 be careful and pay attention to uncomfortable comments and vibes
Love the content. Very interesting perspectives. すごい!
Thank you !!
Make a video about Mental Health in Japan
Congrats you hit 100k☺️❤️
70% no need 40% need

04:00 I met her at a cafe near Hikarigaoka station through Flamingo app about 4 years ago.
Hi! I just started watching your videos and I really like them. I live in America amd started learning Japanese recently. I also hope to visit maybe later this year. Thanks for making these videos. They are very interesting.
I love the diversity of foreigners in your videos!
Very useful information!! Thank you🙏🏾
It was much harder to do this before the internet was widespread. Also no one warns you about the little kids doing Kancho
😬
😂😂😂
I used to do that lol
Lol 😆
wait what is kancho lol? 説明してくれて
Omg, that is a real thing?
@@howardian8829 th-cam.com/video/-w0qiqvEFpM/w-d-xo.html heres a quick vid explaining it

Pls
Wow, the 1st girl is so cute!!

I would like to know about people with IT jobs in Japan, like software and game developers. If possible could you interview them Takashii-san?
Whooaa, cool to see an Iranian on the channel
I'm aiming to become an english teacher in japan in the future 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
i liked your content.. really interesting.
What an interesting channel!
ありがとう ございます☺️
I love your videos. I always find it interesting the way people from other countries speak English is very American. It always sounds like they lived in America or are first generation.
The Portuguese girl sounds like she lived in North America.
