Long shot, but asking among the lovely Mastodon people of my acquaintance just in case if anybody knows of a company/org that may be interested in her, anywhere in Oz. Her English is also excellent, I believe she has a marketing degree that she left behind to do what she does now. Absolutely top notch lady - every positive characteristic of the Japanese with a wonderful outward looking, curious nature. <br/><br/>It’s a sad indictment on Japan that someone of her calibre has no interest in returning there. 2025-12-05T04:35:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxs73s9lzlv5fdg04vrkxj3qy207hnzzl7490p0evnv0tn7ufejxqzypjcyh0jakxjfzkj2feuue9j7exaaxtc6y6tqdv98nf87j4ecafw2qp66rq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrrksv4tqqafqsdz0x5eyvu4waytrny9hss073u288nmzagphf7ug6tnlnt'>nevent1q…nlnt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>my first day of actual work in Japan as an ALT in a senior high school, I had to address the entire staffroom. <br/><br/>I opened with, “私の犬の目が青いです。私の猫の足が短いです。　 [pause] ごめんなさい、それは私の日本語の宿題です。” <br/><br/>Crickets. <br/><br/>And then I carried on with my proper 自己紹介.<br/><br/>About a year later, when I had integrated into the school and had made friends, my closest Japanese teacher friend one day suddenly said to me. <br/><br/>“Hey, remember when you gave that initial speech and you talked about your dog and cat…?
