Wow hi Marian!
That’s awesome that you’re in Japan for a month, may I ask where you’re staying or what you’re doing while there (ie visiting or working)??
Best of luck with your studies! ;)
Hi David and welcome! Aww bummer, I would love a study partner but sadly I’m in Columbus, Ohio. Boo :(
And if you get stuck, please don’t hesitate to ask people here….no matter how silly or stupid you may think the question is. I’ve only been seriously studying a couple months now and have already asked a pretty dumb question lol.
Best of luck with your studies!! :)
I second Joel’s post ;)
Always love to hear about other people’s travels!
Hi Nicholas and welcome!
Feel free to ask people here any questions or problems you may encounter. I’m similar to you in that I just recently got serious about learning Japanese, so while I’ll probably be of little help to you, there are many others who are very helpful……I just like to welcome new people I guess lol.
Best of luck with your studies!! :D
Hi Chris and welcome!
Don’t feel bad or ashamed that you lived in Japan and didn’t learn the language, you must have had an amazing experience to want to go back, and I think that’s what’s important (just my two cents). ;)
Best of luck with your studies!!
I’ve been using Textfugu along with a few other resources (e.g. Human Japanese for the Iphone) for a couple months now….I still only in season 1 because I’m super slow and want to master Hiragana and Katakana as early as possible. Not sure if that’s the best way to go about it short-term, but I’m happy since my goals are more long-term anyway.
I’d be curious to know what season other people are in as well ;)
Hello and welcome!!
That’s cool, I think it’d be awesome to be a translator. I don’t know if that’s your real name or something you just made up, but either way, I think the name Sebby is pretty cool….sorry, just wanted to say that :)
Best of luck with your studies! :D
Hello and welcome!
I hope you like Textfugu, I’m super slow and so I’m still in season 1, but I’m not in a huge rush and I really like Textfugu thus far. I’m slightly jealous you got an internship in Japan, that must have been amazing! :)
How long did you get to stay in Japan just out of curiosity?
Best of luck with your studies!! :)
Wow congrats!! That sure isn’t very much time before you leave eh?! :)
Please do try to keep up with your blog. I always love reading and looking at others’ experiences to a place I too hope to go to in the near future.
Where abouts in Japan will you be?
I had heard about this proposal awhile back. I can see what the intention of the original idea was, but as Yggbert said, that’s a lot of money that could be put to much better use WITHIN Japan, instead of trying to temporarily boost tourism. Granted, I really like Ian’s idea of making flights to Japan cheaper temporarily, just for my own selfish reasons ;)
I’d be interested to know how the Japanese Tourism Agency defines ‘normal’ when it says that “almost all of Japan has returned to normal”. I hate to argue over semantics, but am I the only one who thinks that it seems really soon to declare Japan as back to normal? Please correct me if I’m wrong. That which I do know is only from photos so I apologize if I’m way off base.
Hello Aaron and welcome!!
Like Lee, I too am still on season 1. I pretty much have Hiragana down but I want to make sure I know it really well before continuing, but if you’re already on Katakana that’s awesome!!
Best of luck with your studies! :D
Hi Dillon and welcome!
Hope you had a great Christmas or holiday (depending on if you celebrate Xmas of course)
Do you already know a bit of the language? Just curious ;)
Best of luck with your studies!! :)Hello and welcome!!
I second what Yggbert wrote lol ;)
Keep up the great work!
Hello and welcome!!

I know the JET program(http://www.jetprogramme.org/index.html) is a popular choice that does include the UK, although you do need to have a University degree and it’s a rather arduous application process from what I’ve gathered.
I’m not well-versed myself in that sort of thing….I am planning on getting a TEFL certificate (teach English as a foreign language) and then go from there, but I’m sure there’s many others here with loads of better information than me. So I’m sorry if I wasn’t of much help :/
