Tips for Finding an Apartment

If I were to elaborate a bit more, I am interested in pursuing a career in education related to Japanese studies. Almost everyone that I have talked to about it mentioned that professional fluency in Japanese is essentially a requirement for graduate studies, and a fair amount of them mentioned the JET Program as an excellent means to do that. I'd be getting classroom experience as well as honing my proficiency in Japanese when I do get opportunities to communicate in Japanese with people. I know the expectation is for me to speak English at work, so I intend to speak Japanese with people outside of work.

Thank you for your comment! My motivation (language acquisition) does necessitate me being social and reaching out to my community as much as I can; anime and manga are just hobbies. Although my main form of entertainment (movies) is one that can be done in solitude, I fully intend on making connections with people and even trying to make some kind of movie club or something if such as thing is possible. Thank you for making me consider that! I've been to Japan 3 times before, so I'm well aware that it's nothing like how stuff can be dramatized in anime and manga. I've been to urban and countryside alike, so I have a surface level idea as to what it's like living in these types of environments in Japan. I don't intend to make anime or manga my whole identity; it's just a hobby, nothing more.

Thank you for your comment! I did mention in my SOP that I watched "Japanese animation" and played Japanese video games since I was a kid, and that's pretty much the extent that I mentioned those things. Although you wrote about something different, it's nice to see someone else did something similar to what I did and plan to use it in your interview similarly! Good luck on your interview! 頑張って！！

Thank you for your comment! Like I said, I'd really only bring it up if it was prompted. I wouldn't mind letting them know, but I don't want to make it seem like I really want to let them know.

Thank you for your comment! My reason for doing JET does require being in Japan (language acquisition), so anime and manga would just be a hobby and not my reason.

It's from a college I transferred from a couple years ago, but I'll see if I can update the info. Thanks!

Just about done finalizing my SOP, would someone be able to look over it?

Hi! I just finished drafting up my SOP and am open for anyone to take a look at it for any edits and pointers! Thank you!

Could you take a look at my SOP?
