AshMat Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Congratualtions. Again, someone explain the deal with Japan?
Twozzok Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Totally different culture to us I guess, and the fact it's totally AWEOSKMEOEMZ000000r!one!

Congratulations. How long have you been studying Japanese for?
Guest bluey Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Congratulations. How long have you been studying Japanese for? i've only picked up bits from joke books people have bought me, and my few holidays so far. i can ask for a cup of tea, and also ask where the sailors are.
Bluejay Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 i've only picked up bits from joke books people have bought me, and my few holidays so far. i can ask for a cup of tea, and also ask where the sailors are. Essential knowledge for any language. But really, are you going to learn when you are there?
EchoDesiato Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 How are you going to survive there without any basic Japanese language skills? Don't expect everyone to understand English that well.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Well done, Miss Bluey. I'm sure you'll pick up essential bits and bobs of the language once you get over there. I think its good to always start off with the swear words. Easiest to remember.
Guest Stefkov Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Kuso. They are very easy to remember Flinky. Congrats bluey. Didn't you get a place earlier this year? It's good that you're going though.
Guest bluey Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 But really, are you going to learn when you are there? i do know a few other phrases :wink: my japanese is very basic, but i know enough to get by. i'll probably get some lessons while i'm over there if i can afford it. i know a woman who worked for the same company and took lessons while she was over there~ so i'm going to ask her about it. Don't expect everyone to understand English that well. no, no, not at all. i'm going to TEACH english - it'd be terrible if everyone already understood it too well - i'd be out of a job before i started! Didn't you get a place earlier this year? yeah, in the summer i was offered a job with NOVA, who've since gone bust - so that went out the window... then last month i went for an interview with ECC, got offered a job with them (so like "if we get a job for you - you can have it 'cause you did well at interview), and yesterday i got my placement offer!! so everything's going ahead.
Coolness Bears Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 WOOOO!!! GO BLUEY!!!! CONGRATULATIONS
darksnowman Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Congrats Beckyblue, lets hope it doesn't all go pear shaped again! You'll be fine- you'll find a sailor, then you can ask him for tea. Sorted.

How about Lan-Di? Did you get to him?
Guest Stefkov Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 yeah, in the summer i was offered a job with NOVA, who've since gone bust - so that went out the window... then last month i went for an interview with ECC, got offered a job with them (so like "if we get a job for you - you can have it 'cause you did well at interview), and yesterday i got my placement offer!! so everything's going ahead. Oh so they went bust. I remember it going wrong and you jut didn't go. Anyway, good luck on this. I guess it's something to do with your life, a new experience, new surroundings and getting to learn a new culture. Just don't take any notice of the people who say annoying things you want to do this, go and do it. Man I'm so bored I've become like this.
Dyson Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Mm, I'd love to experience Japan and it's culture. Stocka is going there next year too, I'm somewhat jealous :P
fex Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Congratulations! Gonna be a scary, but exciting time moving over there. I know someone who moved out to Japan become an English teacher. Remember not to laugh out loud when you go the cinema ________ Glass pipe Edited April 28, 2011 by fex
Supergrunch Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Sounds like fun... but man, I'd be scared if I knew no Japanese whatsoever. Useful phrase number 1: Toire wa doko desu ka? (phonetically: Toy-ray wa doko dess ka, with no rise at the end of the sentence) That being "Where is the toilet?" :wink:
Roostophe Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 the position i've been offered if for the kanto region Surely I'm not the only one thinking about...you know?
