      well I can only see becoming an ALT as a benefit only if I use it to learn japanese. Do people take these opportunities to just try to fish for something before they return to their home?
      It seems like an incredibly weak job where the only benefit is you learning the language.

      @@RaspBerryPies no for sure! The stuff in the video happens to anyone who comes here through any type of ALT program. I chose JET because that’s all I knew when I was in high school, and that’s what my teachers suggested. I simply wanted to go to Japan. Didn’t care about English. After getting rejected, I stayed in America for 3 more years and studied like crazy. Finally moved to Japan when I was around 24. I got accepted to a company through a job fair as an interpreter. Been here for about 10 years now.

      @@RaspBerryPies Ya only reason I'm going to be applying for Japanese ALT programs after grad school is because teaching is what I wanted to do long before I wanted to go to Japan. Seeing people that very clearly aren't into education trying to teach because "its all you can do in my field" always makes me feel bad for the students that have to try and learn with them.

    I was surprised to learn that the JET Programme's salary is around 3.3 million yen (approximately $22,000), which seems quite low. For young people coming to Japan from countries with higher wages, wouldn’t this salary be unattractive? Or is it manageable for a simple lifestyle, where they just buy daily necessities in Japan, which has relatively low living costs, rather than focusing on saving money?

    • @SuedeashPokemon

      Manageable for a simple lifestyle and lower cost of living, but also yeah people probably aren't focused on saving either

    Poor Thomas, I hope he gets that melon bread... (Also I just saw that apparently パン comes from 'pão', although I'm not sure 'cause' I saw it on Wikipedia, so I'm kinda happy that this cool food has a word that has its origins in Portuguese, my native language!) And that wonder bread part reminded me of a meme kinda lol

      @MustafaAlmosawi 11 місяців тому +2

      That’s because it has a nasalization with the an and the o isn’t heavily vocalized, to a Japanese speaker it could sound like a weird パン. I wondered too until I heard the word pronounced in DuoLingo 😂

    • @plebisMaximus
      @plebisMaximus 11 місяців тому +2

      I always assumed it was from French, since it's a really similar pronunciation. Makes more sense it's Portuguese though.
