- Hey, just dropped a new video giving you a sneak peek into my day as a Japanese language school student in Tokyo's lively sharehouse scene. I spill the beans on everything - from the daily grind of studying at our shared dining table to the ups and downs of sharehouse life. Dive in to see my Tokyo routine, complete with subway rides, bustling Akihabara walks, trying to create some personal time, and the unique challenges of share house living.
Looks like a bit more polished old TH-cam video, actually edits them, voice overs, camera quality because of technology is actually decent other than video stabilization which makes it look like a normal person filmed and edited something to share with the world rather than being a full time job. Definitely something that more people would appreciate in their home feeds.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. I do hope to up the quality when I can but will stick to filming with my phone probably.
Question were you were a complete beginner when you moved and started learning Japanese or?
You still need to wear a mask even today?
Not anymore, this was filmed in 2022.
However, many Japanese people still wear masks everyday.
nice video! im hoping to go to japan to study the language in a few years so i like seeing other people's experiences to learn all the tidbits i can
I lived in Okinawa for a year. Student visa. Was epic. Impossible to date Japanese people, but I got a great Vietnamese girlfriend while there. What nationality gaijin are you dating? Ha.
Wow a year in Okinawa sounds awesome. I get what you mean, dating Japanese people can be very challenging. Communication is even harder than it usually is in a relationship. I just happen to date the right person I guess.
Anyway you could be my guide for just a couple days? Kinda nervous of going this summer 🤦🏽♂️
Haha I really get that feeling.
Not sure my full time job will be happy about it though. 😂
It’s gonna be fine as long as you come with an open mind and do some basic research in advance . Let me know if there’s anything specific you are worried about.
Hey! I've been using wani kani as well. Really enjoy it. Ive been on it for several months now. I'm in lesson 8, which im sure is way behind you as I understood nothing on your laptop screen 😅. I feel a bit loppsided now: I'm a much stronger reader than listener, but hopefully that changes as I learn more verb conjugation and stuff. Thanks for the video!
Might look into language school myself, but for now, my wife and I are taking our first visit there in this summer possibly.
Wanikani is awesome, I can’t recommend it enough. It definitely got harder as I kept going but so worth it. There are some awesome podcasts with simple Japanese if you want to improve your listening.
I’m glad you liked the video.
Hope you enjoy your trip and get to experience Japan to the fullest!😊
Sorry I haven’t really checked on all of your videos but what are you long term plans for Japan? Do you plan to live in Japan when you are done school? What are your job plans for Japan, or do you already have one? ありがとうございます!
I’m actually working at a Japanese company at the moment.😊
OMG You do Pole in Japan?? How is it? I'll be going to a language school in Kyoto next April and I want to visit the pole studio there to get into contact with locals and all
Yes! It’s a great way to make some friends. It was my plan to meeting locals as well. Just make sure to actually go to lessons and not just open pole. It’s way easier to connect with people during lessons.
Me parece una irresponsabilidad con el medio ambiente poner más de 40 minutos de lavadora para esas dos toallitas 😮
You are so right, I would never do that usually. Unfortunately I had to wash the last of my laundry before moving out on the next day.
Thank you so much❤️ could you give me the name of your language school please?
I’m glad you liked it. ❤️I think I might share the name of the school at a later point but I don’t feel comfortable doing it yet. Very sorry🥺, hope you stick around.
Thank you for sharing all those interesting dayli life things! You are getting better each video you post:) im waiting for the next one already❤
Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much. I am about to apply for a language school in Tokyo for the October semester. Thank you for sharing your view so I can have a rough idea about living there.
Glad it was helpful! Let me know if there’s anything else you are wondering about. Good luck with language school!😄
Bro I am also applying for language school in tokyo for October intake.
@ZOROMART-gn2gp wish you the best. And if we both get there, we should hang out sometime.
@@seaklifti recently applied to a program in Tokyo I was curious if you guys made it and what your experience has been so far
@Kblann2 yep, I got accepted for this fall semester. I am going there in a week. I applied through an agency in Thailand with an N5 certificate. Things went pretty smoothly.
What language school did you go to? And did they help to find the share house?
Why you decided to move inJapan?
I was always curious about Japan, and the timing was just right. I had too much time on my hands, which led me to research Japan and realize that it’s not as impossible as I thought it was.
yeah "workout" ... xD
Nice vlog..am about applying for October 2024 intake, plz is there any age limit as am a mother of an 2years old
That’s really awesome! You should definitely apply, studying in Japan is an experience I would recommend for anybody.
As far as I know most major schools don’t have an age limit, only a minimum age restriction. I definitely had some parents studying with me at my language school.
I found this post that might be helpful.

I really hope you get to experience Japan the way you want to!
im thinking about going to a language school next year! If you don't mind answering how much did you save before going?
I think it was about 10k USD because I knew that I it would take some time before I could work. But it really depends on your expected expenses. Language school is not cheap as well. But the price of living could be quite affordable, depending of the lifestyle you want of course.
Who is responsible for cleaning the house on a regular basis?
There’s a cleaning service that comes once a week to clean the public areas. But you are responsible for your room.
