Would you be an English teacher in Japan?

Most human beings are.

Beats getting shot out of a cannon.


It's a living.

I think it would be great to live in Japan or S. Korea and not have to worry about violence, thugs ,crime or corrupt cops. I dont care what anyone else bitches about Japan or S. Korea. If a woman can go to a club and walk home alone at 2am safely, it must be heaven

The word is fluently...

I knew a guy that did that. Turned him into a pedo

id have to sleep on it

Your average Japanese citizen gets 12+ years in written English, then takes it while in a university as well. Their conversational English isn't very good as they are not encouraged to personally excel. "The nail that sticks up, will be hammered down" is an expression there.

If going, you should know you will be constantly judged as westerners are very individualistic. You would have to be very discrete there. I would bet you would really grow to dislike it.

It is wretchedly expensive there and so it doesn't matterwhat they pay if everything is 4 to 10 times more expensive, right?

They have 3 languages and one is symbolic language where an educated personmemorized 150,000 symbols. Nothing in English is close. Imagine trying to memorize 150,000 Egyptian hierogylphics. That's just an average college educated person.

They are incredibly studious in high school, but then once in their universities, they tend to relax and take tike off for "a western experience" that they hope makes them suitable in whatever business that will international exposure. So an excellent command of the written and oral elements of English is a big deal there.

Often slang and idioms are mistranslated as even with all that experience, it's easy to make mistakes, or our foreign concepts are nonsensical to them.

The most abysmal dating happens in Japan as so many are disinterested, and ladies fret that any chance of finding a romantic husband who is a genuije prospect is nearly nonexistant. Some flat out won't date anyone who is not Japanese as they see no future in the relationship. They also doubt you are seriously inclined.

I can't think of one good reason to teach English in Japan especially post-Fukushima.

Especially if you are a dancing monkey ESL teacher who thinks that what you are doing is respected by everyone, when it's not.

Teach in Thailand

Not so expensive

Land of smiles

And elephants

NYP?

honestly...

Sssh there are English Teachers in Japan reading this. Can't let them think they're not really special people.

It's a dancing monkey living.

yes, yes I would

If doing this just because you want to meet Asian ladies and you are a Christian, I suggest you save yourself the hassle and visit a Korean American Baptist church. You'll thank me. They are prettier, already devout, and sweet natured...usually with a great figure too and old fashioned.

Do not toy with them. These are serious Christian ladies looking for husbands,not boyfriends.

The correct term in Japan is "dancing panda's", but yes.

Maybe for a year to experience life in Japan. But dont get stuck there. The salary is shit, no pay rise for 20 years, still only 250k yen a month.

They are used to Gaijin's too, so there is no 'hero' factor anymore.

I can't help but to think of this.

Ha!

I have previously lived in Taiwan and Hong Kong for extended periods.

Most of the professional English teachers I have known in these places
absolutely love their work.

Chyna Joanie Laurer was one.

I do not recognize this man

Is it human?

Looks totally retarded

Shameful actually

only if I can smash

Who wouldn't give up a real career at home to take up life with the "elites" of the west who travel to Asia to become "sensei" and who are the serial drunks and masterbators in Asia?

Are you kidding me?

I m in Osaka and Narita regularly and have been for the last 25 years.

Japan is very organized and consistent, right or wrong the people are helpful and reliable.

A coworker was an English teacher there some 20 odd years ago, married and now have strong family ties to JP.

I m sure there are parts I do not see fortunately but for a male I would not miss the chance if offered.

As for a female I do not know if I would suggest it either or not without more investigation.

Already have been, for many years.

she is Thai not Japanese

Looks like a good way to become a LOL cow
