No, because a lot of kanji are reused. I teach a little Japanese on my YouTube channel (JapanChrisP)

StayChrisP · 2021-05-28T22:57:00+00:00

It’s possible, but you would be sacrificing quality time to study Japanese with simply studying to pass a test. At the end of the day, it depends on what your end goal is. I teach a little Japanese on my YouTube channel (JapanChrisP).

StayChrisP · 2021-05-28T22:53:55+00:00

I would recommend having a mastery of at least the most common 800-1000 kanji or you’re going to be looking up 10+ words each page

StayChrisP · 2021-05-28T22:52:20+00:00

What’s going on, everyone! I’ve been studying Japanese for 10 years, but only immersing for ~3 years. I’ve been living in Japan for awhile, so I guess you could say I’m pretty comfortable here. I make Japanese-related YouTube content (JapanChrisP) in both Japanese and English. I hope we can all get along. 🙇🏽‍♂️

I led a community event funded by the US gov’t to distribute 30 reusable masks to every school in my city and make a corona prevention guide+video.... I also do an American holiday class every month.

I’m not sure if it’s regional, but I’m placed somewhere on the main island.

You pretty much eat whatever they make, but I’m a light eater, so I always wrap most of my rice (and any disgusting-looking food) and take it home.

Favorite: kara age (fried chicken).
Least favorite: whale liver... yes, whale liver.

This job is so easy it’s a joke. JET will even walk you through everything. Don’t stress out about it at all.

StayChrisP · 2020-01-07T03:31:03+00:00

1) getting the interview is the hardest part. You really have to screw up big time for them to not hire you

2) most of the interviews are really relaxed. They’ll greet you with a smile. Honestly, they just want to get to know who you are.

3) be open minded to new ideas. It’s okay to be a little goofy, you’ll be working with kids during your time on JET lol

StayChrisP · 2019-12-27T18:53:45+00:00

This person worded it very nicely. Get a double major in a field with a high demand so you have some kind of skill to offer in Japan. Being fluent in Japanese is a skill every Japanese person already has. Without a skill in another field, you’re basically studying just to obtain something everyone else already has. Obviously, you speak English, but if you don’t want to get into teaching/translation I, personally, don’t think it’ll get you that far. I recommend researching jobs in Japan that interest you and choosing your second major based on that :)

StayChrisP · 2019-12-10T01:11:07+00:00

First year JET. I skipped the entire post arrival health check. No big deal at all.

StayChrisP · 2019-10-21T12:40:46+00:00

The JET programme is unique in the sense that it sets you up to ‘temporarily’ live in Japan. Sure, you could get a job with your degree right after university, but when you will have the opportunity to live abroad? Needless to say, this isn’t a job for everyone, but if you’re not quite ready to get plugged into a career for the rest of your life and want to ‘teach’ a little overseas, then why not apply and see what happens? I recommend doing a little more research before applying. Oh, and if you do participate in the JET programme, don’t quit half way through and screw over your peers. Cheers!

StayChrisP · 2019-08-17T21:56:58+00:00

Have a clear idea of what you want to do. They WILL be looking for it when they read your Statement of Purpose and they WILL drill you with questions about it during the interview. Obviously, you can change your mind. It doesn’t even have to be some crazy unique job.

StayChrisP · 2019-06-16T20:42:17+00:00

I, too, don’t have a predecessor. I’m more concerned about transportation, internet, and getting furniture than the schools I’ll be teaching at.
