I heard JET prpgramme is the best way to work in Japan as an English teacher
The JET Programme--Official Homepage of The Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme--
I had a few friends used to work for those private English schools, but...
Well...anyway, I say "just go for it!"
If I were you, I will apply many companies and see what I get! |
はいい〜頑張れます。I tried the JET programme, but I didn't get an interview. I've hear mixed things about the private eikaiwa companies. Some people really enjoyed working with them, others didn't. I have friends who live in the Kansai area, so maybe I could just go and live with them for a while. :P

My image of cookies are smaller and thinner.

I see it the other way around
Here, cookies are normally bigger. This is what I think of as 'cookie'

If it doesn't fall apart when I dip in my tea, I count it as a biscuit!
Scones are lovely. I really like them with homemade jam.

Mm, that's probably too short, and 'micro' as a word has a meaning all of it's own. A microwave oven isn't small, so it would seem a bit weird to call it a 'micro'. I can't even think of any slang terms for microwave, except for saying something like "nuke the chicken in the microwave" instead of "cook the chicken in the microwave". '
