This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil
In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Aside from having spent time living and working in Japan, she is also very passionate about fashion, which started from getting into Japanese fashion magazines and music at a young age. If you enjoyed the podcast, please consider liking and subscribing as it really helps us out! Sanaa's Links: ► Tokyo Fashion Post: https://twitter.com/TokyoFashion/stat... About Sanaa: Before becoming a student at the prestigious Oxford University, Sanaa had a fascination for a very certain country growing up. At the young age of 4, she wrote a letter to her mom saying she wanted to go to "Tokoyo" (how she spelled Tokyo in the letter). After listening to a Japanese song back in 2009, she fell into the Japan rabbit hole of music and Harajuku fashion and never looked back. The next step in her journey with Japan was her quest to learn the Japanese language herself. At the age of 13, she was laser focused on teaching herself Japanese, especially after seeing YouTubers such as Hannah making videos learning Japanese. With the help of resources online and her strong motivation, she started learning Japanese by herself entirely. This went to the extent of asking for a JLPT book for her 14th birthday. At age 16, she felt comfortable speaking and communicating and Japanese. Going into university, she knew that she wanted to learn more languages, and got into Oxford for German and Arabic. Despite not actually getting to go to Japan, she finally found her opportunity when finding a job posting at her university. Despite not having the qualifications of the job, she eagerly called the company and was able to come out with a job offer and a ticket straight to Tokyo. Her company focused on creating puzzles using AR technology, and she held a position which allowed her to playtest puzzles, pitch new ideas for puzzles, and a lot more. As for living in Japan, she loved her time there and made great friends, but she faced many difficulties along the way. Looking forward, she's very keen about continuing her interests and visiting Japan again.…

It was always her childhood dream to go and live in Japan and experience the culture. However, it wasn't until she graduated from the University of San Francisco and spent a couple years working in Health Tech where she got her opportunity to do it. In 2016, Steffie fulfilled her dream of moving to Japan and moved to Tokyo. Her ticket there was attending a language school in Tokyo where she wanted to learn Japanese and gain a working proficiency. While at the school, she found a couple jobs on the side to make ends meet, such as singing to children over the phone to help them learn English. She also began modeling with her cyberpunk aesthetic. Afterwards, with the help of some friends she co-founded Startup Lady Japan, which is a community that supports female entrepreneurs in Tokyo and beyond. She met many female entrepreneurs who were pushing the bar in their respective fields and changing the world. But, there was one person she met in particular that would shape the next path she was about to take. That person was Yan Fan, the co-founder and CTO of the coding boot camp, Code Chrysalis. After hearing her speak, Steffie started to get interested in the software engineering space. She started with the introductory course and soon found herself taking all of the advanced courses. She grew to love coding and software development as a whole throughout the process, despite how tough it was overall. It gave her the necessary skills to become a software engineer in Japan, and now she's embarking on a new chapter in her life in Japan.…

JapaneseGaryBen’s Links: ► Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWY6R8lFFCk724E9mN_HtGw ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/JapaneseGaryBen About JapaneseGaryBen: JapaneseGaryBen started learning Japanese around 3 years ago, using the All Japanese All The Time method, where he tried to immerse himself with Japanese as close to 24 hours a day as possible. This included some unconventional workarounds, such as taping headphones to his ear so that he could continue to listen to Japanese as he slept. He’s made yearly update videos documenting his progress, but since he hasn’t made an update video this year, we decided to catch up with him to see how far he’s come since then. Although JapaneseGaryBen has become considerably more comfortable in Japanese since his 2 year mark, he felt that he was still mostly doing the same things, so he decided not to make a 3 year update video. Nevertheless, he’s made a lot of progress studying pitch accent and becoming better at output. One aspect of the AJATT method is that output is not encouraged in the earlier stages, due to fear of making bad habits. Perhaps in fear of that, JapaneseGaryBen has noted that he has yet to start “outputting at full force”, but has made efforts regularly writing down thoughts in Japanese. Although having studied for 3 years, he feels that he isn’t comfortable speaking due to the fact that pitch accent is constantly on his mind, and his goal is to sound as close to a native person as possible. After 3 years of studying Japanese, JapaneseGaryBen still resides in the United Kingdom and has yet to travel to Japan. We talk about some of his expectations for Japan and whether or not there’s a possibility that he might find that Japan isn’t what he thought it would be. However, JapaneseGaryBen has very realistic expectations for what Japan will be when he arrives there, so he isn’t that worried about moving there. Although he’s talked in previous videos about possibly doing JET, he’s since changed his mind on that, wanting to pursue a full career instead in Japan before the age of 30. Before starting to study Japanese, he initially went to university studying games, and even went on to pursue a masters in the same field before dropping out. Nowadays, he’s studying programming, in Japanese of course, with the goals of becoming a digital nomad where he will be able to work for himself anywhere in the world. As of now though, JapaneseGaryBen is working away at a corner store, still working on perfecting his Japanese.…

Johannes's (Japanese Journey) Links: ► Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkAKAc0xu7_JgKRxumCLUBA ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/NihonJourney ► Website: http://japanese-journey.com/ About Johannes: Johannes is the man behind the YouTube Channel Japanese Journey where he provides information and helpful tips about Japan through high production value videos. He initially got into Japan when he was younger while he practiced the martial art Aikido in Germany. However, it wasn't until he met his wife later on where he actually considered ever living in Japan. In 2016, Johannes made the big move to start his life in Japan.

He eventually made a YouTube channel under the same name, and started posting videos about Japan that could help people who were interested out. Outside of YouTube, Johannes works full time in an IT Company where he specializes in Android App Development. Despite the long hours, Johannes manages to create high quality content, including information on how to work in Japan in the IT industry and acing the interview.

In this weeks episode of the KoreKara Podcast, we chat with Kaz, the author of Eigo Nodo. You also may know him from the Kaz's Nippon Dream Youtube Channel, or the Nippon Dream Website. But today, we're going to find out more about Kaz than just the language learning side. We dive deep into how he became proficient in English, his journey to the United States, the inception of Eigo Nodo and publication process, as well as his adopted son. Kaz's Links: ► Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/eigonodo ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/eigonodo ► Website: https://www.nippondream.com/ About Kaz: Kaz grew up in Hiroshima, Japan and became proficient with the English language from an early age listening to the radio. After doing his undergraduate degree in Japan, Kaz would go to the United States to get his PhD from the University of Chicago. At that point, he was very comfortable with his English speaking and comprehension level, but there was one thing that was missing. No one was listening to him. This issue wasn't the most apparent until he actually starting working in the United States. He noticed that everyone would listen to his international colleagues, but no one would pay attention when it was him that talked. However, his wife went and pointed out something simple but drastic that would become the cornerstone of his book, Eigo Nodo. The concept of using your throat to speak English. Due to the quiet nature of speaking Japanese, you never actually hear when native speakers breathe in. Whereas the foreigners at the company Kaz was working at would always breathe in before they spoke, which let everyone know that it was their turn to speak. Once Kaz actually put this concept into practice, he was able to see that everyone would listen to him, and could communicate at a much higher level than before. From there he decided that this is a problem that other Japanese people must be facing, thus he decided to make the book Eigo Nodo together with his wife. She wrote out the concepts in English while Kaz would go and translate it into Japanese. The final product was Eigo Nodo, the tool to help out Japanese speakers speak English better. In conjunction with publishing the book, he created the Nippon Dream website and Youtube channel to further aid Japanese people who wanted to have a very high level of English. The website evolved into not only a hub for various learning resources, but an area where Kaz would personally tutor people as well. Over time though, Kaz noticed that it wasn't only Japanese people who were interested in his content, but also foreigners who wanted to speak better Japanese. Nowadays, Kaz looks to help both Japanese native speakers and foreigners become better at the respective languages through his interactive video series, website posts, tutoring, and more!…

Прослушать Позже Прослушать Позже Списки Нравится НравитсяIn this episode of the KoreKara Podcast, we spoke to Jeff, a university professor in Japan who didn't have the most straight forward journey to becoming a professor, let alone in Japan. On top of that, he's been doing academic research on how video games can benefit students and the classroom environment. This time, we explore Jeff's unorthodox journey into how he got into actually becoming a professor in Japan, as well as his unique teaching methods utilizing video games. Nowadays, Jeff has recently created a new Arena Card Game called Alternate Souls while he's working as a professor. If you enjoyed this podcast, we have bonus footage of Jeff talking about his time working as the global head of community relations for the TCG Force of Will on our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/Korepoddo Follow Jeff and Alternate Souls! Website: http://alternate-souls.tokyo/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/956103204755308 About Jeff: Born in New York, Jeff has had a fascination with Japan ever since he picked up an anime drawing book in a middle school book fair. From that point on, Jeff's curiosity with Japan grew further after becoming friendly with his Japanese professor and having conversations about the country itself. He knew that at some point he would go and make that trip to the country himself. Jeff got that opportunity once he was 18 and did a 2 week class in Japan. Despite being a short time, Jeff witnessed everything he ever dreamed of Japan first hand. It was a lush green paradise with numerous temples to explore. Yet at the same time, it was a clean metropolitan society with the most respectful and kind people you would ever find. All Jeff knew was that he will be back. That next opportunity came in university where he was ahead of the schedule in terms of required credits to graduate. So he decided to go and study abroad in Japan for 6 months this time. Although it wasn't the most normal study abroad since the Tohoku Earthquake had just happened. But, that didn't stop Jeff's passion to go there. There were the least amount of foreign exchange students at that time, but Jeff found it to be the best situation, since he could become friends with everyone regardless of their nationality. Normally, students would form cliques around nationalities, so this presented an amazing opportunity for Jeff to meet others. Despite the irregularities of this study abroad, Jeff thoroughly enjoyed himself and created a wide network of Japanese and foreign friends along the way. However, returning to New York was a dark time for Jeff. As a recent university graduate, work was hard to come by. He was stuck in between being overqualified for lower skilled jobs and under qualified for higher skilled jobs. He was stuck working at his Dad's business while spending every minute outside work interviewing for a new job. Finally, he decided that enough was enough and decided that he wanted to do a teaching job in an Eikaiwa in Japan. This experience at the Eikaiwa became an extremely refreshing decision for Jeff. Despite, the difficulties of working in Japan, he solidified his new passion in teaching and knew that it was what he wanted to pursue. From there, he got a masters degree and started teaching in America. After gaining the experience, he went back to Japan and began his career as a University Professor.…
In this week's podcast, we talk to Nukemarine, someone who is not only a military veteran living in Japan for over 15 years, but also a seasoned veteran in the online language learning communities. Nuke has been an active member of many Japanese language learning forums, not only as a member but also as a moderator. Nowadays, he enjoys his retired life in Japan while teaching english in Japan on the side, and he actively helps out members of the community by providing free resources. He has his own YouTube Channel where you can follow his Japanese Language Learning Journey, as well as his own framework for learning Japanese.

Nuke briefly talks about his experience with the military and his brief stint living in Africa. Although most people may experience cultural shock when coming to Japan for the first time, Nuke didn’t experience any of that and decided to live in Japan long term after meeting his now Japanese wife. In talking about Japanese media, Nuke talks about the influence of Anime and Japanese dramas on Japanese cultural from his perspective. Although Anime is very popular outside of Japan, it maintains a minority audience within Japan. Nuke talks about the importance that J-Drama has on cultural references and television Going back to his experience when he first came to Japan, Nuke talks about the decision to live in Japan long term, which included the purchase of an apartment with his wife. Nuke then shares his experience dating in Japan, and the cultural differences that he felt through that process. Although Nuke has lived in Japan for 15 years, he wasn’t studying Japanese the entire time that he was there. There were periods of times when he only participated in online language forums and didn’t personally study, and there were times where the study method he used was not effective. We discuss Nuke’s participation as a moderator in these online forums, and how he naturally fits into the role due to his background with leadership within the military. We learn what the role of a moderator is and how he goes about resolving conflicts in the online forum. Lastly, we reflect on Nuke’s mistakes when he was learning Japanese, and he gives some wise advice to those who are currently learning Japanese.…

She grew up speaking and going to school in three languages, which means she's essentially native level at all of them. Although Emily grew up in Taiwan, she ended up going to college in Japan, where she faced new challenges fitting in culturally. Emily shares her story of how she learned three languages growing up, her experience going to college in Japan, and her stories of Japan's working and drinking culture. About Emily: Emily grew up in Taiwan, with her dad being Taiwanese and her mom being Japanese. She went to a Taiwanese elementary school, then a bilingual school, then finally an International School. Because of these environments growing up, she is native level at reading and writing in three different languages, which gives her a unique position of being a polyglot. She also speaks Taiwanese as well as French. Initially when Emily joined the International school in Taiwan, she faced difficulties getting up to par, but was able to reach a high level after 4 years in an all English environment. She ended up only applying to colleges in Japan, after finding a school that perfectly fit her unique personality. At Keio University, she was able to fit in and meet many interesting people, such as someone who enjoyed eating bugs, or other people that didn't care about the cultural norm within Japan. Initially, Emily joined the Volleyball Club in an effort to meet more Japanese people, but due to the difficulties she faced in fitting in and conforming, she ended up leaving the club. Emily shares her experiences of working part-time at Mr. Donuts, where she learned the importance of being punctual within Japanese society. She ended up being late for a couple minutes on the first day, and after being reprimanded, she ended up oversleeping for 3 hours the very next day. Lastly, Emily shares her future outlook on searching for a job within Japan, even though she knows that it might be a bit more difficult for her to fit into a Japanese company. She shares stories of working over-time and stories of deciding not to conform to Japanese societal pressures. Follow Emily on Instagram: @onopoop…
This is part two of our conversation with Matt, the man behind the Matt Vs. Japan Youtube Channel and co-founder of the Mass Immersion Approach. If you haven't already make sure to go back and listen to part one of the conversation, as we pick up right where we left off. In our discussion this week with Matt Vs. Japan, we talk a lot about his identity as Matt Vs. Japan, his ambitions for the Mass Immersion Approach, and his future outlook for where he wants to take things. If you liked the podcast so far, we would really appreciate it if you could like and subscribe as it would really help us out in making more content Thank you so much and hope you enjoy the podcast! Raza starts off the conversation this week by asking whether or not Matt is satisfied with his identity now compared to a couple of years ago. We hear about the growth that Matt has gone through and how he has changed from when he filmed his infamous 3-hour video to this point in time. We also talk about his efforts in learning other languages, such as Matt's efforts in learning chinese. Although he has been starting and stopping for multiple years, he intends to still continue and take his Chinese to the next level. We compare different habits he had between learning Japanese and learning Chinese, and why maybe some of them are not replicable at this point in time. Going hardcore at a language seems very hard, but in terms of language acquisition, it is actually easier since you have less options in front of you, and thus less decisions that you have to make. We also focus a lot about the business side of the Mass Immersion Approach and his experience in running a business for the first time. There are a lot of unforseen things that he has to learn, such as how to register an LLC, how to register a trademark, file taxes, etc. Although these tasks are challenging, he's working hard everyday to improve his knowledge of running a business. The Mass Immersion Approach as it is today is constantly evolving, with new sub communities popping up all the time. Matt talks about how he is inspired by the movement that has been created, where people go and promote immersion based learning methods and support everything that he's doing. Matt shares his future plans of potentially making a channel in Japanese and targeting a Japanese audience, helping Japanese people learn English.

Japan Youtube Channel and co-founder of the Mass Immersion Approach. On his channel he mostly talks about different techniques to learn languages, but in this episode we’re going to be trying to learn more about who he is as a person. With mattvsjapan, we talk about why he hasn’t moved to Japan yet, his love/hate relationship with Japan and Japanese, his ambitions for his YouTube channel and potentially Japanese media, as well as funny stories from when he was still going to college and studying Japanese. We’re going to be splitting the podcasts into two parts, so make sure to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to catch Part 2 of the podcast. In Part 1 we talk a lot about Japan, Japanese, Japanese People, and his efforts in studying languages, whereas in Part 2 we talk a lot about the Mass Immersion Approach and where he wants to take with his company and team. Hope you guys enjoy the podcast! We start off the episode by first talking about why he has decided to live in Oregon for the past couple of years, given the fact that he's dedicated such a huge amount of time of his life towards Japanese. Although he's studied abroad in Gunma Prefecture briefly when he first started learning Japanese, he spent the majority of his time learning Japanese in Oregon. We learn about how hobbies like meditation and his families have kept in Oregon, although he does intend to move to Japan at some point if it weren't for Corona. Matt shares more about his personal life, including stories of how he met his Japanese girlfriend and whether or not that dating a Japanese person has improved his Japanese at all. We hear more about his stories while he was in college, such as whether or not he's ever flexed on other gaijin, useless Anki cards that he's made in the past, and whether or not there are still things he feels like he wants to master within Japanese. As some of you may know from some of Matt's other videos, he often goes up to Japanese people that he sees on the street so that he can practice Japanese. Matt shares some funny stories of some encounters with Japanese people, and stories of mistaking people for being Japanese as well. Looking back on his time at Portland State University, although he didn't graduate, he still found some of the classes useful, although most of the Japanese classes were not particularly challenging. He intended on studying abroad at Meiji University, but decided not to in a sort of realization that he was dedicating his life to something that he didn't feel that strongly about anymore at that point in time. In the next episode, we learn more about who Matt Vs. Japan is as a persona and learn more about his development as a person.

If you're interested in working for a Japanese company, but are unsure how to land such an opportunity, this episode will be especially valuable. Max talks about how regardless of your Japanese level, you can find a position at a Japanese company. Just not through the conventional job hunting methods everyone is used to. About Max: Max grew up in a small town in America where it was unheard of to travel to another country. However, he always wanted to at least experience or learn something different about another culture, regardless if it was traveling or not. He found his golden opportunity once he got into college where there was a requirement to take a foreign language course. He did some research into his school and found out that they have a partnership program with a university near Tokyo, Japan. Thus, he decided that he was going to learn Japanese. After initially struggling with the language classes, Max took extra time to study and catch up to the curve. This experience led him to start to liking the language and become more interested in it. Making friends with a lot of the Japanese transfer students at his school helped as well. Sooner or later, the more Max interacted with the Japanese language, the more he wanted to take the opportunity to actually visit Japan through a study abroad. After never traveling to a foreign country before, Max made the decision to study abroad in Japan. Touching down in Japan was a completely different experience for Max. After spending all his life surrounded by American culture, he was immediately faced with an entirely different society with contrasting values. But, instead of giving in to the culture shock, he embraced the differences and learned new things about Japan and of himself. He met many great people, including his host family who treated him like their own son. After having an amazing experience living in Japan, Max knew that he wanted to incorporate Japan in his life moving forward. Once he came back to America, he realized the real difficulties in making Japan a part of his future. For people in his position with a beginner to intermediate level in Japanese, he found himself in a tough spot. Looking at others in similar positions, he saw that there are not many options with many people teaching through JET or just making Japan a part of their past. But after going through the job hunting process and understanding where Japanese companies actually hire from, he realized he was going about it all wrong. After putting it all together, Max got interview after interview from Japanese companies, and had his pick as to where he wanted to start his working journey…
1 #12 Anna - Life as a Japanese Salarywoman 1:03:03

Прослушать Позже Прослушать Позже Списки Нравится НравитсяIn this Episode of the KoreKara Podcast, we are joined by Anna, a Japanese Salary Woman, who walks us through what it's like to work in an American/Foreign (Gaishikei) company in Japan as well as the current situation with COVID-19 there. Prior to working in Japan, Anna studied abroad in Australia and the United States, where she picked up and learned English. Despite having a challenging job, Anna is more motivated than ever to to continue learning and become even better than she already is. About Anna: Before becoming the salary woman she is today, Anna was born and raised in Japan and grew up in a city close to Tokyo. She was always interested in living in foreign countries and learning the English language, but she never got a great opportunity to explore that interest in Japan. Mandatory English classes in Japan were tough since not many students were actually able to develop strong communication skills throughout Middle School and High School. But towards the end of high school, Anna finally got her chance to chase her interests. Anna's high school offered multiple study abroad programs to different countries, but the only problem was that you needed to have a certain level of English for countries such as the United States. Thus, Anna decided to study abroad in Australia for one year, where the English requirement was lower. Despite seeing drastic improvement in her English, Anna faced some difficult times in Australia. She was bombarded with culture shock after culture shock during her first time out of the country alone. Although she enjoyed the experience overall, she decided that she would rather attend a university in Japan in the future. Unfortunately, when it came time for the rigorous testing period for college entrance exams, Anna wasn't able to get into the universities she desired. Thus, she was left with two options. One was to become a Rounin (浪人) student which means to spend another year studying to take the entrance exam again the next year. Or the other option was to go and study abroad. Instead of wasting a year, Anna decided to study up on her English at a Juku (Cram School) to apply for colleges abroad. After getting a good score on the TOEFL (Exam), Anna was accepted into a 4 year college in the United States. Her second time around studying abroad was a lot easier as she didn't experience many big culture shocks. However one aspect that proved to be tough was making friends with American students due to the difference in level of English. Despite getting into a school in the United States as an international student, Anna had her sights set higher to transfer to an even better school. By her junior year, she was able to achieve this goal and transfer to an even better school in the US. But, the next challenge came creeping in quickly. When it came to applying for jobs in the United States, Anna found it very difficult since in the US, you need to have a specialized degree to get most jobs. This differs from the philosophy in Japan, where you don't need any experience in the field to actually get the job. The positions Anna was interested in looked for qualifications that she didn't have. This left a few options, but the most viable option was to join a foreign company in Japan (or Gaishikei), which she did. But that too came with its own challenges, especially in Japan. After starting her job and becoming a salary woman in a foreign company (Gaishikei), she got her first taste of the working adult life. Despite quickly getting used to working long hours, everything changed when Japan was hit by COVID-19.…
In this episode of the KoreKara Podcast, Eric and Raza talk about the perception of Japanese technology in the west, starting with the advent of the high-speed rail or Shinkansen. The conversation quickly derails into an entire episode discussing the minute details of the Japanese washlet and the fascination with the technology. Eric and Raza talk about different innovations of Japanese Toilets and discuss optimizations like you've never seen them before. In western culture, Japanese Technology is often seen as high-tech or more advanced than other countries, in part due to the influence that Japan has had over western media and innovations. Companies such as Toyota, Sony and Panasonic have brought a lot of innovation to western countries in the 90s and 2000s, but have sort of stagnated in innovation compared to the high-tech software companies that you might find in Silicon Valley. It appears that the tendency for Japanese companies is to continue to use products that work, and innovate vertically. There is less demand for creating new markets or innovating like the way that the west has in the past several decades. However, there are still certain aspects of Japanese technology that the west still fail to catch up to, namely the Shinkansen or High-Speed Rail. California has had projects for numerous of years to develop a High-Speed Rail, connecting major cities like Los Angeles to San Francisco. Such a system would benefit the life of millions who travel frequently between thoes two tech hubs. Many countries in Asia have recruited the engineers from Japan to build similar technology, or simply have reverse engineered the same technology. Countries like Taiwan have had a growing High-Speed Rail system for over a decade. Another aspect that the west has not adopted as of yet is the advent of an advanced washlet in every household. In Japan, almost everywhere that you look you will find these highly advanced electric-powered toilets, which featured warmed seats and a built in bidet. This technology not only improves the user experience of someone using the toilet, it also improves efficiency and cleanliness. It is a mystery as to why the west has not chosen to adopt this technology into their culture, but we speculate the reason as to cultural barriers. We continue to discuss the innovations of the Japanese Toilet and different ways that it could be innovated even further, such as with more voice commands, analytics, recognition, or even activities for you to do while you are using the toilet. Lastly, we compare the entire concept of public toilets in Japan versus public toilets in America. The collective mindset of the average Japanese person to be conscientious of things that you use in public is what keeps the average public toilet in Japan so clean and welcoming to use, whereas the toilets you might find in a public restroom in the United States may not be the same.…

Прослушать Позже Прослушать Позже Списки Нравится НравитсяWelcome back to another episode of the KoreKara Podcast. In this episode, we speak to John, a veteran English Teacher in Japan who has been living there since initially coming over as a study abroad student. However, it hasn't been all fun and games for John since coming back to Japan as a worker. He has had to face the reality of living in Japan alongside the weight of a culture that shuns individuality. About John: Splitting time growing up in Chicago and Phoenix, Arizona, John had spent most of his life in the United States. He was always curious in exploring new countries and cultures, but never got the chance to live elsewhere. It wasn't until his senior year of university where he finally had the opportunity to live in a different country which came in the shape of a study abroad program to Japan. Living in a new country for the first time didn't come easy for John. After spending his entire life somewhere else, it was a little bit overwhelming having to adjust to numerous cultural differences. Especially, when the country he was in spoke a completely different language. However, all these obstacles didn't stop him. Instead, he took it upon himself as motivation to improve his language skills and explore this new country. With his comedic personality and sincere attitude, he quickly made more and more friends and enjoyed the most out of each day. Slowly but surely, this completely foreign place started to feel a little bit more like home. But, this idea of a home away from home solidified when he met the love of his life. It was at that moment, he knew he was coming back to Japan. No matter what it took. His return back to Japan, however, was a different story. With limited job opportunities to come back, John took up a position as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) at an elementary school (through a dispatch company). This proved to be one of the most difficult experiences he faced, as he had to deal with Japanese societal pressures, Japanese working culture, poor treatment from dispatch companies, alongside many other issues all at the same time.
