I'm really interested, but being someone that's always around her friends and family, I'm a bit scared to feel lonely if I went out there on my own. Did you visit Japan before moving there to become a teacher?
Thanks in advance! :3

Did you speak/understand Japanese at all when you arrived in the country?

I had always been around my friends and family too. In fact, I had never moved out of my parents house, even all through university. The only foreign country I'd been to was Canada (which is not very foreign at all to an American), I had never been to Japan, and I spoke no Japanese.
Yet I went anyway. Of course I had a few doubts, and I became homesick at times... for most people, that's only natural. And learning to live on my own for the 1st time, in a foreign country, had it's difficulties. But I made it through, I had a great time, and I wouldn't change my decision to go. It was an incredible experience.
