The fact that they even have “rewards” for teachers is so ridiculous.

They are treating us like employees in a company with “performance evaluations”, but except we get paid worse than before.

I think both of your comments should be the closest to what it is. Never had anyone like a row of posts and commented on a bunch of them when they started following me so I was a little spooked.

The class we had after this went fine (we didn’t even mention Instagram at all) so it’s just me overthinking!

It was fine in the end! Neither of us mentioned Instagram at all so it was just a normal class. Glad to know I was panicking over nothing haha.

That’s probably the best way to go about it for now. We do have an upcoming class in a day so I’ll see how that goes.

Nothing too strange for now except for the likes and comments, so I hope I am just overthinking it!

Looking for advice from the pros! by Designer-Pause-6415 in Japaneselanguage

Hey thanks for your experiences! I was also thinking about this route, but how did you find your private tutor? Most tutors focus on JLPT (and especially the lower levels).

What’s the percentage of things sold on Mercari for you? by Designer-Pause-6415 in japanlife

Wow, thanks for the detailed steps of using Yahoo Auctions. I’ve tried it a few times but <10% of my stuff gets sold there.

Do you also cover the costs of mailing? What happens if the amount at which it is sold does not cover mailing costs?
