Thank you so much Irie for watching! Wishing you all the best in teaching your students!

thank you for this video! i am also thinking about teaching in japan for a year after taking a 3 week vacation there. you seem like a very spiritual person so it was interesting hearing your view from a spiritual perspective! would love to hear more about your life living in the country side, as I come from a big city and am a bit worried about living in rural japan

I highly recommend it, especially if you want to experience the culture in Japan. 1 or 2 months is simply not enough time to really immerse yourself in the culture. I will make a video about living in the countryside. When I travelled to Japan I was hoping to be in a big city, but I'm glad that I lived in the countryside.

Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊 may I ask did you go straight into the JET program after university or had you worked some time in Canada? And did you have teaching experience/qualifications before going to Japan, thanks 🙏🏾 😊

I did go straight to the JET programme after University. Prior to Japan I had been to China for 3 weeks to teach English. I think what is important is to show them that you're willing to learn the language, learn about the culture, and have a genuine interest in Japan other than in anime. During the interview I did an example lesson in English and I had practiced this before the interview. I didn't have any English teaching qualifications.

I loved your video. Does one have to speak Japanese to thrive during these programs?

You don't need to know Japanese, BUT it does help with immersing yourself in the culture and developing connections with students, teachers, and to connect to Japanese people overall. I lived in the countryside so I found it was important for me to know some basic Japanese so I could get by.

you should do a second part about the cultural shock
