Now see, that is really disheartening for me to hear. I'm a non-native speaker, however I've completed all of my university education (BA and MA) in the UK and, frankly, my English is better than that of the average native speaker. The only problem is my rather non-standard accent, which is somewhere mid-way between northern English and American.
But I really want to go to Japan! I even have a TEFL qualification from a leading university! Does anyone know of any language schools in Japan that might accept me anyway?
