Re: Post-Nova Bust: How is G-Education for teaching English in Japan?

Mrwindupbird — Sun, 24 May 2009 10:27:45 -0000

This was a great read! I was never interested in working at a cram school to be honest and this article has just pushed me even further away from that. JET and just teaching at a public school is fine by me. I really don't mind about the rural area thing because if you look past Tokyo and the big cities, there is still a lot to be seen in Japan.

Very interesting stuff as always !

Cheers!

When He counts isn't it on certain numbers he makes a funny face such as the one in the picture. Now that I think about it I feel like a may have come across a Youtube video of him.

Happy Birthday Koichi!

Re: Top 10 Online Resources for Learning Japanese for Free

Awesome Websites, but I have a question. On Lang8 what is stopping the corrector from just intentionally messing someone's sentence up that they wrote? Is it moderated well enough or does it have to go through an approval process before being posted?
