However, today I decided to skip to the latest postings. I think I saw you at Harajuku today! If so, how random, huh? Sometimes when I go through an existential crIsis, your postings have a way of letting me get through the day and remain upbeat!

I can definitely recommend Tokyo, and Kyoto would be amazing to live in, but I've never been to Osaka so I can't comment! Although I think it would be quite similar to Tokyo, except slightly smaller. <br /><br />Good luck with the planning!Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665513409988032059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184944397467065056.post-87774342929810114092009-10-04T15:30:36.624+01:002009-10-04T15:30:36.624+01:00Well i'll be graduating in june so i think i&#...Well i'll be graduating in june so i think i'm going to pull some money out of my overdraft and clear my head in Japan for a while =]<br /><br />I'm not sure if i want to be in Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto to be honest! I want somewhere which is somewhat western purely so i don't feel lonely and lost!<br /><br />Thanks for the advice, it helps a lot knowing i might be able to get by with limited Japanese knowledge!<br /><br />Good luck finding students, if you get stuck for ideas, let me know and i'll help you brainstorm and get creative with it =]Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134204608500622361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184944397467065056.post-58675759228997211082009-10-04T04:12:13.484+01:002009-10-04T04:12:13.484+01:00Hey Jamie!
Thank you for your comment! : ) Priva...Hey Jamie! <br /><br />Thank you for your comment! : ) Private teaching is definitely more appealing, pay-wise and atmosphere-wise too. I might have to start advertising myself! <br /><br />In answer to your question, I hardly spoke any Japanese last time I started at Gaba. I could barely string a sentence together, and the only time I used Japanese in lessons was to help out with random bits of vocabulary that I happened to know. In general, all you need is English. Does that help?<br /><br />When are you thinking of coming to Japan? Do you want to stay in Tokyo or somewhere else? <br /><br />Thank you very much for your kind offer - I'll keep it in mind! :D <br /><br />MilesMileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665513409988032059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184944397467065056.post-74309078181955401662009-10-01T21:42:52.947+01:002009-10-01T21:42:52.947+01:00Miles!

You'd have better pay, better hours and better flexibility =]. If Gaba can charge 9,000 yen a class, i'm sure you can get away with charging 3,000 or even 4,500. If you need help getting students/keeping track of stuff, let me know and i'll help you out =]<br /><br />Random question (sorry!) but how much japanese did you know when you started with gaba last time you were in Japan? Just i'm thinking of going over and self-funding and i'm curious as to how much japanese you need to know to be able to get by actually teaching english?<br /><br />Thanks, and i hope you're having a great time @ ICU =]Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134204608500622361noreply@blogger.com
