Sat, 14 May 2022 - 33min - 333 - DON'T Start An English School In Japan | With Simon
I’m back with Simon Moran to talk about why starting a school is a big mistake for most English teachers living in Japan. So many people think of this as a way to make a better long-term living as an English teacher in Japan, but it is a totally different job than teaching. Even worse, many start with their Japanese spouse dealing with the parents of their students, and it can often have a very negative effect on their relationship as well.

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 - 33min - 306 - How To Hack N2 in Japanese While Working in Japan with Dallas Dunbar
This episode of the podcast is all about learning Japanese while in an English only working environment.
This is why SO MANY people don't learn Japanese while they are here; it's super hard to study when your work is 100% in English. You can only say "I don't need a plastic bag" at the convenience store so many times before you've mastered it... Also take a look at this book, the 5 year diary, that Dallas mentioned in the discussion: https://amzn.to/2QSReYJ
We talk about:
- Starting with Chinese and switching to Japanese (and how much more in-demand Japanese really is outside Japan)
- Strategies for learning Japanese while working in English-only environments
- The best study habits that make getting to N1 easier and more fun!

My Fav Episodes of the Year!

Fri, 27 Dec 2019 - 27min - 246 - Ep. 83 – Opening a Pizza Joint/Craft Beer Bar in Japan w/Jessie!
This week I take with Jessie, a former Yamato Damacy member, former JET, former IT guy, and now still IT but pizza joint/craft beer opener! It was a pleasure to speak with Jessie about his work history and just incessant drive to take his ideas to the next level. Anyone can have ideas, few can make them happen like Jessie can.
P.S. go watch a Yamato Damacy episode because they really are a part of Jvlog history that I think is not remembered enough! Go watch some episodes here.
