Yet another new person

[oonter]

Hello, My name is Chris and I'm a new member to this forum. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm very passionate about Japan, the culture, the lanuage etc..I took a japanese course last summer but haven't practiced lately. My grammar and vocabulary is limited to "Hi" "Bye" "Where is?" "Who is?" "What is?" etc....I want nothing more than to live and work there right now. If all else fails, I'll just visit. I recently graduated(2 days ago) from College with a B.A. in Sociology. Back in March I applied for an English teaching job with Nova.I got the interview but ended up not getting the job. I can tell you this was extremely discouraging and my passion began to die down. Now that I'm out of college and ready to take on life, I want to give it another shot. I'm in the process of applying with AEON. I'm looking forward to discussing with all of you. My goals for this forum are to
-practice my japanese speaking and writing skills
- discuss Japanese culture
- obtain information on applying and interviewing for jobs in japan

Thanx alot. I hope to hear from you all soon

From a way over here, in these yet snow covered hills--the Japan Alps--I wish to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to Jref !! I know that you can do what you want to here. (although speaking will have to be kept to reading outloud, perhaps)

It will require some effort on your part, of course, but just having graduated for college, you are surely used to that, and now have the time to do it. Please do your best !! ﾅ?ﾃｦ窶卍｣窶堙≫?堙??堋ｭ窶堋ｾ窶堋ｳ窶堋｢ﾂ !! (ganbatte kudasai) [do your best]

Also, it is a large forum and there are many things to discuss and talk about. I hope you share and learn with all of us and post when you can in the areas that interest you. I hope to hear from you later !!

Listen Darling,
It is natural to know Japan is unlike where you are from.
Do your research before you make the hop,as you are already.
Nice to visit,but to live here is complicated at times.
Learning the language is a big bonus here.

I will be looking for you against my window.
