bonjour! 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
No University degree? Ok!
In this video I talk to a french student in Tokyo on how he is trying to become an engineer and get a work visa in Japan without a degree.
Jonathan shares his story and give a lot of advice.
Must watch for people who don't want to go to university in their country but want to live and work in Japan.
Much respect to Jonathan!

Regarding that Anki friend mentioned in the video: from years of experience of learning jap I can confirm it is best to speedrun in 7 months like he did. That way you can avoid forgetting grammar or kanji if you, like... , read for hours every day + study textbooks. Though your will has to be insane, so it is not like anyone can do it outright even though you know it is quite an efficient way.

I think so too. If you put yourself in that kind of situation you can learn quickly. I wish I'd had speed run a lot more in my younger days.

I know this is kind of an old video but I hope you can reply. I've been working a software engineer (but have no degree whatsoever) for 4 years in Argentina. I have some basic knowledge of Japanese and want to find a job there. From what Jonathan said, I won't be able to get a work visa :( . I want to try to do the same thing he did but I'm not sure which specific visas he got, was it one for learning the language (which I think lasts 3 years)? Did he go to tech school while on the language learning visa? Or did I get everything wrong and he got another type of visa?

Hi Juan, Sorry for the late reply.I've been in my cave for a few months. From what I understand is he first went to a language school for a year or 2 then went to a tech school for 2 years. I'm also guessing that he obtained a student visa. To make it simple you can look it at it like this. 2 years at language school to get N2. 2 years in a Tech school to get the cert. Then he can legally get a work visa sponsored though employment. In your case you already have 4 years so if you can save up enough to get the first year studying Japanese and while you study work freelance IT work i think it's totally possible. Depending on your skill level you should be able to make at least 300,000 per month freelancing comfortably in your spare time. Basic rule for language school is 1million yen per year ($6913 USD at the current exchange rate). Cost of living per month under 100,000 yen ($691 USD) for rent 100,000 yen ($691 USD) for monthly food. Not including shopping for stuff or traveling. so let's say 200,000yen ~ 300,000 yen including enjoying some travel or light shopping. Please connect with me and maybe I can give you some recommendations based on your situation.

@@devippo How can I contact you, sir? Lindkn? or private email? I really hope you can reply to this email. Thank you so much!

@@devippoif it's not too much to ask can you tell me what course he did to get the IT certification. Bachelor's degree is usually 4 years and masters is usually 2 years. So without bachelor's you can't really do masters. So was it like a diploma course?

@devippo 4 месяца назад

@@dipankarkalita4633 Yes. They have IT technical schools in Japan. many of which take 2 years to complete. I think it's something like this tokyo-ec.ac.jp. There are quite a few around.

@@devippo ok can I get a advice. I am a self learned mern stack developer. I have no work experience only certification from udemy and freecode camp. I do have a bachelor's degree in business management. My japanese level is N3. So I was thinking I would join a language school and go to japan on a student visa. And from the first month itself start applying for entry level jobs. I know there are jobs available. But will I qualify for a working visa? Please guide me
