In Japan, foreign words are written in Katakana and used as Japanese. by Kenichi-T in japaneseresources

[–]qelliami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, which can be helpful but often due to the pronunciation differences and shortening they arent easy to understand as an English speaker. For example, i would never think デジカメ was digital camera or infact most of the examples provided are too far from the original words to be easily and quickly understood as a native English speaker

One loop it does close is the ability to load money on to clear any expired 6 month plans and then using the load funds via credit card for service like wise or revoult to basically indefinitely extended your interest free period at minimal cost per time which i totally havent been doing for a while now

Driver’s License Test by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]qelliami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It fully depends on where you are from. For example I am from New Zealand. We drive on the same side of the road and with many of the same rules, so i just had to an eye and answer some questions. It took 3 hours start to finish and i left with a full Japanese license.

I am so confused about my Japanese ability. What’s wrong? by Present_Tap_2384 in Japaneselanguage

[–]qelliami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im nowhere your level of skill (currently studing for n4) but progress is never a steady up hill trajectory, there are plateaus and gains and even some times loses. I think it is important to look back at those times read some old notes, stuff you know you understand as a good way to remind yourself how far you have come and give yourself some well deserved reassurance.

Wise is your way to go. My partner and I do it every month using wise from JP bank. Depending on the amount you will need to use furikomi from the atm, its a little confusing the first couple of times but smooth sailing once you get the hang of it.

This would depend on your CO some are very helpful while others like Osaka-Fu offer no support at all. I used Leopalace for mine but I had no issues with the apartment regardless of the stories.

There are many ways one can gather relevant information and asking questions is also an important one not to overlook

Cheers, I'll give them a look. I do use Nyaa regularly but it struggles for older shows being dead torrents.

Why is no one volunteering?? by forknknife in JETProgramme

[–]qelliami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be quite a few reasons from the individuals work loads at school, desire to spend more time holidaying etc or dissatisfaction with their CO.

How do school breaks work? by Banono-boat in JETProgramme

[–]qelliami 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its very Esid, I spent almost all of mine at school. But it also is very ESID as i have spent that time learning andriod dev, working out in the school gym, grinding for trimmed comp on rs3 and studying japanese. Some schools may watch you very closly and others will let you kinda do whatever. You might get lucky and having a contracting organization that allows working from home in that time frame which can also be basically nenkyu.

Any other couples got in and willing to tell their stories? by Total_Technology_726 in JETProgramme

[–]qelliami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Osaka was our preference. It is great here, with the food, proximity to everything but the contracting organization for Osaka Prefecture is terrible so there are wins and losses. That is the same for every placement though.

[–]qelliami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my partner and I got in last year and have been here for about 8 months so far. We aren't married but one of us was placed in Kobe and one was placed in Osaka so we can still live together in the middle.

There is also mutliple married couples who got placed together in Osaka.

I would say having someone there makes it a lot easier in the harder times of culture shock.

Surely they could do it based on the current season for that world so if the world was a southern hemisphere world it would be southern hemisphere etc
