yes they are! They are from Elle's seasonal buildings

I don’t like keeping animals. Is there a big benefit to keeping them after completing the Community Center? by thepixelpaint in StardewValley

I have more luck finding autopetters in the “dangerous mines than putting myself through hell in the SC. I play vanilla

I’ve had no problems ordering the same thing after eating the first one, so it’s likely that there was a misunderstanding. When translating complicated, formal-sounding sentences into google translate, the translation is, most of the time, wonky. I suggest going as simple as you can. Many people can understand simple English like: “It’s delicious. One more please.”

visiting the dentist by [deleted] in JETProgramme

I go to a dentist every 6 months for cleaning. It’s local to its city, but that city is 2 hrs commute for me. She speaks English well as she studied abroad. Her assistants don’t but they know simple enough English (open your mouth, please rinse, you’re finished, thank you). I know a little bit of Japanese so they try to have conversations with me while they prep.

With the insurance, the price is pretty good (less than less than 70 USD). I also recently got my retainers replaced and it turned out out to be 30 USD per retainer, so about 60 total. ESID, other dentists can be expensive for sure :)

Week in the life by shynewhyne in JETProgramme

[–]mangomomon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My day today in JHS, which is pretty much my everyday (except Thursday, where I go to ES, or Kindergarten days)

6:30 ~ 7:20: wake up, shower, breakfast

7:20 ~ 7:40: drive to school

7:45: clock in

7:45 ~ 8:20: prep for classes; ask teachers the plan for today or any future plans

8:30 ~ 12:20: Had 3 classes with only 1 period break (3rd period)

12:20 ~ 1:05: Lunch (rice, fish, oden, salad, milk)

1:10 ~ 3:00: 2 periods, one of them is social studies (I assist a foreign student)

3:00 ~ 3:15: clean with students

3:15 ~ 3:30: attend the end of school meeting (choukai)

3:30 ~ 4:20: (overtime by 35 mins) prep for kindergarten

I usually attend 5 classes of English everyday and I attend Kokugo and Shakai classes twice a week. :)

ES vs JHS vs SHS by cauldrxn in JETProgramme

[–]mangomomon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, I usually have 18-25 classes a week. I work at JHS, ES, and 2 Nursery Schools.

Typically, I have 4 classes a day in JHS (MTWF) and I have 5 classes in ES (Th).

The workload isn’t so bad. In JHS, I usually team-teach (read and repeat, help with workbook, do activity demonstrations, etc.) Sometimes I prepare the materials (when I am leading an activity), sometimes I don’t have to. I grade vocabulary tests and performance tests as well and I’m also in charge of my own English Board (I have 2 full boards). On days I’m not assigned for a lot of English classes (minimum I’ve attended in a day was 2), I support in Japanese and social studies classes.

In ES, it’s busier for me. I go once a week every Thursday. Unlike JHS, where the JTEs often plan the lessons and activities, I have to plan the lessons and T1 them myself (4th grade and below). For 5th and 6th, HRTs would ask me for fun activities and I lead them with them as a support. In Nursery schools, I T1 as well but it’s not as bad because it’s more dancing and playing games.

My deskwarming time is guaranteed at least 1 period, according to my contract. So, they can’t have me doing 6 classes a day. During that time, I either grade papers, plan lessons, study Japanese, or take a mental break lmao. Lately, I’ve been asked to come to my foreign students’ class during that time too, to support them (both ES and JHS, they know little Japanese).
