- Hello everybunny!
The borders are opening again so I thought I would make this little video about my experiece as an ALT, feel free to comment your own tips and experiences!
Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences! I'm in the midst of this year's JET Program cycle, and this all sounds kind of like I expected. Here's hoping I can make it over there!
Love the cat cameos as well 😸
Thank you for the informative video! I move to Japan in less than a month to be an ALT so I'm nervous and excited and this video helped! It won't be my first time there but it will be my first time actually working there so I will do my best!
Ahhh you’re going to do great! I forgot to mention but make friends with the school councilor or office staff because they know all the school gossip hehe
Hey, I was wondering how it's been for you since you moved over and been an ALT since then? 😁
@@CapsuleBunny (late response I know sorry) but I actually clean the hallways with her everyday and chat about a bunch of random stuff. She lived in New York before so we constantly teach each other stuff about language lol.
@@chrisl2773 Sorry for the slow response! Your experience is heavily dependent on placement and your school but I've really enjoyed it. I'm nervous in most social situations but i've gotten used to it over the last few months. I love talking about language and it's always fun chatting with the students and faculty! During regular school days i'm fairly busy, but any special days like tests or exams I have almost nothing to do so I study, read books, or recently started learning how to draw. I can give more specifics if you want but don't want this reply to be a whole novel lol.
Excellent Video.
You made some great points. I agree that becoming an ALT is one of the most accessible pathways into Japan, yet it's undeniable that the majority, if not all, dispatch companies leave much to be desired. It's genuinely advantageous to enter Japan equipped with a specific skill set and then seek employment while teaching. According to my friends' experiences, transitioning between jobs in Japan while holding a visa is considerably smoother than attempting to secure employment in Japan from abroad.
Once again, kudos on the Awesome video!
Thank you very much for the insights.
This was really interesting. Massive respect to you for doing it because I'm not sure I could do the same.
THIS IS SUPER RELATABLE.
I’m happy 😭💕
I love your videos so much, they are very informative (but also entertaining). I am planning to move to Japan the coming year so your videos bring me a lot of comfort, they are like little tutorial videos of how things can go lol.
I was wondering if you could maybe make a video about work clothes for ALTs/ Teachers? Maybe like what you usually wear and if different types of schools have different rules etc.?
Sending lots of love~
Thank you so much for your comment! This is a very good idea! I’ll try to make a video as soon as possible about work attire!
Have you come across ALTs who do not have a college education? I skipped college and went right to work, not sure if that's a disadvantage. Maybe tutoring could be an alternative. I don't need to worry about visas or the like because I'm a citizen, thankfully- just thinking about how to earn money while I'm settling down in Japan. I've saved up for years but the money may go faster than I planned for.
I have actually! You normally need the degree in order to get the visa so if you don’t need the visa then it’s very possible to get a job without :)
Im planning on applying this year for 2025 JET. I'm nervous but excited. Although the idea of potentially being the one making all the lesson plans and running the class isn't super appealing to me 😭
I love Japan 🇯🇵❤️
Around 5:30 when you say there’s nothing to do. Are you not able to bring a laptop and work on something else during that time like coding or browsing the web? Do you really just have to sit there in silence and stare into space??
You 100% cannot work on a laptop with work that’s not related to work :(
But some schools might let you study Japanese on paper
@@CapsuleBunny that’s actually devastating to hear. I will be arriving in Japan in March 2024 as an ALT and was hoping to be able to work on my coding projects during downtime to make a transition into IT.
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to plan to work towards my IT transition while at home. That sucks so bad 😩
@@TheseEyesSeeDarknessClearly7 But usually you finish work early around 3 or 4 so you’ll have plenty of time after work!~
@@CapsuleBunny that’s good to hear at least. As a substitute teacher in the US, I’m able to do my own thing whenever there’s downtime. Very valuable intel you’ve given me before my arrival in Japan. I’ll have to make that after work time count
@@TheseEyesSeeDarknessClearly7 let me know how it goes! I have a very similar plan to you!
Can you bring your own lunch? If you dont like the food?
Usually no :(
@@CapsuleBunny D: thats roughhh, what if u have dietary restrictions, surely they can accommodate tht right?
Hiya!! Thanks for such an informative and helpful video. I have a question for you/anyone else with ALT experience;
Do you think tattoos will greatly affect how I am perceived in a Japanese school? I am a heavily tattooed and pierced person. I will always cover them up in school hours and take my piercings out before arriving in Japan, but of course I may be seen with my inked skin around town. I understand there is quite the stigma due to gangs being associated with tattoos, but do you think this opinion is changing/different for foreigners? Or will I run into great trouble?
I admire your fashion sense, by the way!! :)
My advice is to not tell anyone about your tattoos! It’s very hard to get hired here with tattoos but as long as you cover them it’s fine :)
@@CapsuleBunny Appreciate your advice, best to play it safe I suppose! :D xx
Hello, did you start your ALT career having Japanese language experience?
A little! Enough to order food and read basic stuff, I would suggest getting at least that
LOVE YOU🥺💕💗💗🌸🎀🎀🧸✨✨
Thanks angel!!! 💕🎀🌸💕🎀🌸💕🎀🌸
Hi ~
I found your channel a few days ago and I’ve been binge watching you ever since !! Your videos are so entertaining ꒰⌯͒•·̫•⌯͒꒱
Thank you so much for watching 🥺💕
ずっとALTとして働くわけじゃなく、ワーキングホリデーの延長みたいな感じですか？たくさんの国々からALTとして来てくれているのに、依然として英語が苦手な日本人が多いということは英語教育以外に大きな問題がありそう。
Very help, thank you! How are you managing with the heatwave? Stay Safe! Stay hydrated!💗
Is it easy for you to many your budget of living from the money you are paid ?
pardon if I have to ask this:
How much is the salary?,
What is the Visa description if you are an ALT teacher?
Thank you in advance. よろしくお願いいたします。
Sorry for late reply! Salary usually runs from 230,000 yen to 270,000yen per months. You’ll have “instructor visa”
Hey Bunny I am from INDIA🇮🇳 I want to know how many year of bachelor degree require for an ALT it is 3 years or 4years
Reply if you can ❤️
Mine was only 3 years! :)
@@CapsuleBunny thank you for your reply and time.
TBH I guess I'm lucky. I've never had any of these negative experiences
Could u possibly speak about bad experiences u had in Japan ? Not related to dating stuff ?
Hmmmm I haven’t really had so many bad ones honestly
i dont think i could ever work as an alt 😳
It’s honestly not for everyone haha
What if any teacher us Muslim and eat halal food ?
すき
ありがとうございます🥺
