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!

I'm Charlie and I've been in Japan since 2012. I started Live Work Play Japan to help foreigners in Japan to find their own version of success. I also wrote "The Smart Guide to Teaching English in Japan" which you can get on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle book.
