/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

I just realized that I could probably legitimately make it as an English teacher in Japan if I only learned the language.

I'm a teacher and I've been working for 2 years at the middle school level. I enjoy teaching and I'm pretty good at it. I've also always sort of accepted my weebish tendencies as unhealthy escapism, but even at 23 I still dream of the crowded cities, humble people, and beautiful women of glorious Nippon.

Do you think a white dude in Japan will have a decent time as an English Teacher? Honestly.

Welcome, new user to /jp/ - Japan/General! Hah, just kidding, this isn't Japan/General. This is Touhou/Visual Novels/Doujin Games.

If you want to discuss the different places you can visit in Japan, I suggest you go to /trv/ (though they also seem to hate Japan there, so don't annoy them too much). If you want to discuss the Japanese language, go to /lang/ (yes, 4chan has text boards!). If you want to discuss anime and manga, go to /a/ (some series that are based on light novels/VNs/games like Marimite and Higurashi can also be discussed in /jp/, it really depends, so lurk a bit to see what's acceptable). Finally, if you want to talk about Japanese history and culture, go somewhere else, nobody here knows or cares for that stuff.

/jp/ was created as a board to get rid of Touhou and visual novels from /a/, it was never intended to be a board about Japanese culture. Most of the users here don't care about Japan, we only care about lolis and doujin games.

You don't need to know Japanese to become an English teacher. Just a degree and maybe some teaching experience.

Oh my god. As soon as I finish paying off my student loan this year I'm doing it. Fuck it. You only live once. I'll pick up a little conversational now, learn the language for real when I'm actually there. Fuck it. I'm gonna be a goddamn gaijiin teacher in Japan. Holy shit, I'm actually excited about my life for the first time in years!

This is going to be a motherfucking adventure!

Being an English teacher is too unstable, try working in the field of your degree.

I'm a theater teacher. My degree was in fine arts education. Don't know how many theater jobs there are in Japan, but I figure there aren't many.

The japs love computers, so it's easy to get a job over there as an IT guy as well.

I do it in the internet. When there is a word I don't know how to pronounce I just say some random shit and the japs go into sugoi mode.
But I don't think it can work in real life.

I heard someplace that a moderately attractive foreigner will have the time of his life, or at least will be better off than an actual japanese in the land of the rising sun.

I don't know why you would want to move to Japan for work. Working there seems infinitely worse then working here.

It makes no sense man.

I actually like old history and culture. It's one of the things I'm actually passionate about, so of course I know japanese history and culture. But you were probably saying that for the people who only care about everything Japanese and hate everything else.
