Hi Shawna!
Wow, you’re doing exactly what I dream of doing! I have so many questions for you, just as Joel asked in the previous post.
I myself am completely new to Japanese (I now know the first 10 hiragana woot! lol), so don’t feel discouraged that you feel like you barely know enough Japanese to get by; you’re doing amazing by my standards!!
Best of luck with your studies, and let me (or anyone here for that matter) know if there’s anything we can do to help!
P.S. I look forward to hearing from you sometime about your experiences teaching English in Japan ;)
