I'm getting at how open doors to success will be for him if he's not ethnically Japanese and/or already wealthy. You can't even immigrate to Japan without a job lined up already unless you're going for university.

Only real way for someone who does not speak Japanese is to be an English teacher, and the pay is absolute shit and very unstable and you will be taken advantage of bigly.

I have an American friend who works in the ministry of tourism over there bc he speaks Japanese, studied abroad there, and graduated from a top US university with a degree in Japanese literature.

I have another American friend over there who did the English teacher route. He's currently unemployed bc of covid and during normal times he has three jobs and barely survives and has ZERO exit opps. He'll be doing this until he can't find another one and in his 40s has to move back to the US with no relevant WE and no savings.

I have a British friend over there who is an actor. She speaks Japanese and went to drama school there.

I have one final American friend over there who is a software engineer for a Japanese company. He literally got his job bc he knew a C-level exec there and had a really strong dev background in his mid 20s. Also he speaks Japanese and was married to a Japanese national.

I have a few other friends who did the English teacher route. They moved back to the US in their late 20s with no WE and no money.

Suffice it to say, to be an expat in Japan who can't already speak Japanese, you need to marry a Japanese national or find a unicorn job, or I guess maybe there's a way if you're wealthy.

edit: Actually I do have some Asian friends who are in Japan. They have MBAs and finance backgrounds and shit from places like Singapore. And they don't even stay for more than 5 yrs.

In Germany there wasn't much choice. Germans are pretty reserved and typically their English was better than my German so we'd inevitably switch to that when we did talk. But even beyond that, I had the image in my mind that German would just flow into my head once I was there. It doesn't work that way- I've learned WAY more German in the last year in the US than I did during my year in Germany simply because I've been determined to do the hard work to learn it.

If you've got the same determination to learn Japanese it can of course work there. But with the internet, you could do it in the US as well. The resources are there.

I get a lot of benefit out of reading and remembering full sentences like you see on linguee.com- one example:

https://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/search?source=auto&query=feststellen

Beyond that, I take lessons with German tutors on italki (always female lol- gives more incentive to keep taking them):

https://www.italki.com/teachers/german?from%5B0%5D=DE&from%5B1%5D=AT&is_native=1

I also ask native Germans questions on hinative.com:

lots of good free lessons here:

Duolinguo is good for beginners- I started at a pretty high level tho having had 3 years in high school, a minor in German in college and a year at a German university.

No, haven't seen the video- am not a believer in the "there's some magic shortcut" theories people try to peddle.

Yeah, and there's a cottage industry built around lying about that fact. The worst is a handful of freak of nature polyglots (the real ones, not the posers) who try to convince you that their ability to learn 20 languages is the result of one weird trick you can learn if you buy their book.

I wasted money on this polyglot's book- tossed it in the garbage can when he said he gets fluent in a language fast just by studying in 15 minute sessions a few times a day:

https://www.amazon.com/How-Speak-Any-Language-Fluently/dp/1472138562/ref=asc_df_1472138562/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312095945984&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10462240185460702567&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1020795&hvtargid=pla-518072050512&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60223809257&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312095945984&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10462240185460702567&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1020795&hvtargid=pla-518072050512

you take a place you know and mentally walk through it

if you have a list of items to memorize, you imagine each of them in a different place in the walkthrough

then when you need to recall later, you walk through the location and see what you "placed" in each location

I have a masters in Japanese, have lived there for a combined 6 years (don't currently live there) and have Level 1 competency as tested by the JLPT.

As others have pointed out:

-if you don't speak Japanese, it will take you many, many years to achieve even BASIC reading/writing fluency, and that's if you study very diligently. Japanese is a *very difficult language. If you have a good ear/mimic skill, you can ramp up your speaking fairly quickly, but there is zero shortcut to reading/writing.

- If you don't have a "real" job (not JET, not some English eikaiwa, even a private one) you will flounder for years and likely have zero to show for it. I know literally dozens of people like this. You will not be different.

- even if you DO learn Japanese, Japan--below the shiny surface--is a xenophobic and remarkably backward and institutionally sclerotic country. You have ZERO meaningful long-term future there, unless you are incredibly well-connected and lucky.

Nah. Went over with a niche interest/skill on a fellowship and got looped into other things and wound up staying much longer than I thought. I'm currently a lawyer. Not going to post specifics, but yes, I use Japanese all the time, both personally and professionally.

1. this is either total horseshit or you have a photographic memory.

2. "learning" (i.e., memorizing by sight) a stack of kanji flashcards -- is this including onyomi and kunyomi?--is a different animal than learning how to actually read and write.

But good for you.

NYUUG pretends to be Korean. The truth is, he was born in America, is an American citizen, does not have Korean citizenship or a Korean passport and cannot speak Korean. He is living abroad like any other sad sexpat that was exiled from their homeland due to no romantic prospects. Since his ancestry is Korean, he could get Korean citizenship, but in order to do so, all Korean "males" under 35 must complete mandatory military service. Nyuug is a coward and won't do this, so he is still just another American sexpat loser and not a Korean as he constantly claims to be.

The xenophobia and lack of opportunity for foreigners has been covered pretty throughly but I don't think anyone has mentioned how oppressive and alien Japanese culture is. These people will never tell you their honest thoughts about anything. All their social interactions are polite platitudes and actually speaking your mind, or even worse encouraging someone else to is a tremendous social taboo. As an outsider the natives will almost never open up to you. It will drive you completely insane when people smile and politely agree with you about everything all the time, while internally they are sneering about this foreigner freak who keeps being impolite.

Had a good friend that did the teaching English in Japan thing for a summer. One of the stories he told me was that if there is a building with double door on the front the Japs will open one door and then line up and take turns between people going in or out. If you walk over and open the other side of the double door and walk through it, they all gaze at you astonished. They are freaks, completely alien to western culture.

Japan seems 180 but, as others have said, you need to be Japanese.

It's perhaps the last remaining homogeneous first world society. Also, the weight they place on honor is very CR.

I'm a solo and do US shitlaw remotely from Japan (Sapporo area). Travel back to the US about once every two months. Have been doing this since 2012. Let me know if you have any questions.

do you have a resident visa or are you just relying on the 90 day visa-free entry? if the latter, does immigration ever question you?

incredibly difficult to cop a long term work visa or secure anything resembling professional employment unless, as others have said, you're insanely well connected or have some unicorn skillset an employer desperately needs.

they are very serious about making sure that well paying Japanese jobs are overwhelmingly filled by Japanese citizens. crazy concept, I know.

This is silly unless you're actually Japanese. They're a strong ethnostate that has little interest in foreigners showing up and living there. Go where you actually belong.

Why not Taiwan or Singapore instead (or even mainland China)? Seem more open to foreigners and better English among the locals.
