The Six Stages of the JET Program 

Good to know that it was your own doing and not some underhanded ploy by the 4 heavenly kings of the JET-committee, covering the truth of the program 😅

It's all good! Just gives me another excuse to watch it again! Lol!

Now, why would you go and do a thing like that?

Happens to the best of us

You are so goddamn どういたしまして right now frfr no cap

Also having any speaking ability to begin with. Most dont.

oh god the truth hurts

What's an ALT? Sorry I work with IBM tech and there are like 20.000 3 letter abbrevations and I've given up.

@@rhine3 Thank you, I see. Give me a second... 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.

検討します

@@Dogen お願いします🙏🏼

bro same, this and Chris Abroad's anecdotes

To be fair the type of dude this happens too isn’t because of JET the same shit would happen if they went anywhere else for any other program. It’s just JET seems to attract these types of ppl a lot lol So if you ever did get in you might not have turned out like this at least I hope not haha

@@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.

@@colinDESU Oh wow thats amazing! Glad you did so much in 3 years and got a great job in something you like to do! I image being an ALT would suck unless you’re super into teaching lol

@@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.

there's actually a number of portuguese loan words, many which have been around for a long time! my favorite is 'shabon dama' (soap bubble, based on sabão)

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 😂

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

It is, sorry accidentally deleted the original!

It's people like this that make me hesitate before saying I'm learning Japanese to anyone.

Yes! Accidentally deleted the original. Sorry!
