Hey Japanese people, what is your honest-to-god opinion on an American Math teacher in Japan? I very recently married my Japanese-born wife and am seriously considering moving to Japan for a few to better understand her culture and also, for fun. I am not a troll, or lying.
I don't think so. I don't think I can teach Math or Physics at a university-level without fluent Japanese. I can barely ask to go to the bathroom in Japanese. It would have to be at the highschool level. But I can, I suppose always teach English lel.
Nathan Nguyen
Thank you. I'm pretty new to Anki, only started using last week. Didn't know how you got that data. I'm pretty new to it, but I'm hoping to get better.
You could be a stay at home dad.
Gavin Clark
>stay at home dad
You bounce on cocks don't you?
Lucas Harris
How many words did you guys pick up from animu before you learnt japanese for real?
Nicholas Price
I see. I was asking this because yesterday someone seemed to have a good opinion about American teachers in universities. I really don't know about high school though. There is an English teacher in Japan posting here regularly so you can ask him.
Gabriel Morales
Nope. I'm a computer scientist without a job. I can't start work until the government stops fucking me. So until the end of June-ish.
Also the stay at home dad was a joke. You could easily join an eikawa by just being a native english person.
Zero.
Ryder James
どういたしまして! Anki takes some getting used to, and you should check out this Anki guide from the Sup Forums Daily Japanese Thread. pastebin.com/raw/HRkK6WDb
Also here is the really nice deck I use (also from Sup Forums).
Biggest piece of advice I'd say is to do your reviews and study everyday with Anki because if you miss a day then it gets a little messed up.
Also I would highly recommend the reddit subreddit /r/LearnJapanese. It's even more helpful than this thread or the Sup Forums threads especially. Good luck! Once you get started and just continue going it gets way easier. The worst thing you can do is give up and take a break. 頑張って!
Connor Reed
I started learning Japanese before watching anime. Got into it later.
Interesting. Thanks for the help f a m. I'll still welcome information using a Physics degree in Japan. Or anything having to do with a White guy living in Japan. I hear there's alot of racism.
Isaiah Price
Yes, I am using the Sup Forums 2k-6k deck. Thank you for the suggestion.
I don't really go to DJT, I just snatched the deck from there. Someone suggested removing the daily limit, that is why my grid looks so red and weird.
I will check out the subreddit.

>I hear there's alot of racism.
Taboo.
Levi Russell
What do you mean 'Taboo'? Could I get some strange social interactions by being a white guy with a Japanese female?
Nolan Allen
事のまこと > 事の真相 Are you a foreigner? If so you seem very good at Japanese.
Daniel Ward
That's good! And you're welcome.
That's good, I would only use DJT for the resources they have in the OP. Otherwise everyone just argues about how to learn Japanese and they are like crabs trying to climb out of a bucket, they just drag everyone else down with them when they see others doing well.
That's good, despite what everyone says here about Reddit, that subreddit is very helpful and check out the wiki when you go to it, it covers a lot of things.
Isaiah Smith
That's a 'yes'.
Samuel Reyes
I doubt people give a shit in big cities 2bh. Tokyo is full of foreigners.
Noah Garcia

>I'll still welcome information using a Physics degree in Japan. Have at least an MS, or better yet a PhD, get to N1 level of fluency, and then go beyond that and learn physics vocabulary. You'd need to be accreduted to teach at a university, but you might be able to possibly get a job working in a research team if you have the language skills and a good resume. Once you are fluent (and possibly before then), look into what annual meetings physicists hold in Japan, and go to them to get an idea of what areas of research are hot, who works on what, and to try and network.
English-speaking expat groups can get you some friends quickly after you move over there, but the constant English use probably won't help much in driving you to really buckle down on learning Japanese.

間違えた 言葉なんて適当でいいの。
Nolan Howard
Tokyo is trash. Any large city is.
That answer's my question though. It still confuses me to no end though that Asians can be racist towards whites when it's a fact that they still wouldn't have electricity, good plumbing, food, large amounts of clean water, computers, etc without copying white people.
Look at this, I said I was Physicist, something I noticed while studying for years, nearly 100% has been discovered and created by white people. Do you see a 'Tokojima' equation? No. How about a 'Konoyama' equation? No.
Japanese are stupid to be racist towards whites. It doesn't make sense. Fucking embarrassing, no honor from a society that prides itself from it.
I know, Whites and Jews created literally everything yet they are the most hated.
Evan Lee
How does it feel to be lumped in with black people.
Brayden Kelly
Where is your wife from? If she's from the sticks, expect some funny looks, everyone asking how many guns you own, if you like burgers, and how big your dick is.

Tbh their comment section is so hardcore and you would believe that japanese are some kind of hardcore anti koreans nazi. But they probably just don't have mods
Angel Sullivan
To any anons with experience as an ALT in Japan, would it be better to apply for JET or Interac?
