This is the most wholesome video I saw today. The way you talk about teaching is kinda split in between foreign and japanese culture, which reminds me of my Japanese teacher who was born in the USA but grew up in Japan. :D
@@user-oq8zh7pu8tfrom Wikipedia: Park Ji-min (Korean: 박지민; born October 13, 1995), known mononymously as Jimin, is a South Korean singer and dancer. In 2013, he made his debut as a member of the South Korean boy band BTS, under the record label Big Hit Entertainment.
I love your videos I’m a mixed American Japanese girl who’s spent some time in Okinawa Japan (where my Japan side is from) and seeing videos like these really inspires me in a way! I’ve dreamt of ACTUALLY living in Japan, not just vacationing. And I’ve been trying to piece together what a life in Japan would be like and seeing videos like this really helps!
well I've researched and you don't actually need to learn Japanese, i just wanted to so that i can have conversations with people who only speak their native language Japanese@@MaidenHelll
Dude you look like the main reporter girl in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Like at the beginning. With that perfect sideways smile. It was so cute 🥰 keep having fun girl. Cant wait to go to Japan someday :3
Watching your journey unfold online has been genuinely inspiring. Your grace, resilience, and the vibrant energy you bring to everything you do not only illuminate the uniqueness of your spirit but also serve as a beacon of hope and positivity in a world that often needs more light. Your red hair symbolizes the fire and passion with which you approach life.
I really want to go to Japan but I have terrible social anxiety and really hate being stared at. So here's the question: I have red hair as well, how often and how intensely are you stared at if at all?
I’m American and I been living in Japan for 4 years now and sometimes you get glanced at but honestly mostly every one can care less this country is so introverted even the restaurants are introverted and i been all around Japan. It is somewhat crowded in places like Kyoto and Tokyo but it’s worth it and there’s empty places here oh and im blonde so I stand out a bit but no one looks at me actually they avoid eye contact and mind there own unless your loud. Hope this helped
American and have been living here for a little over a year and I can't wait to get out... It's a beautiful country visually but society here is beyond fucked and finding a genuine person here is like finding a needle in a hay stack
I'm assuming you're white? yea, you're going to get stared at a lot. I'm a white dude, and people stared at me and wanted to take photos. Its really quite the experience. Depending where you go, people are going to see you as a unicorn.
@@a.j.nelson3276 that's tokyo and kyoto though. If she went to more rural areas, someone non-asian passing is going to be seen like a unicorn. Which is not a bad thing, but that's just how it is.
I always wanted to teach english at japan and when I saw this I just got excited. I always loved Japan because of all the culture and I've been wanting to go visit japan for three years now :)
Glad you're enjoying teaching in Japan. I taught in Japan for 3 years back in 2006. Ended up changing careers and lived in Osaka for a decade before moving back during Covid. Hope you enjoy your vacation in one of the best cities I've ever lived in.
You mentioned being compared to an anime character in a recent video and as I'm watching this video my brain is like: "AERITH"!!!!!!!!!!!! (from Final Fantasy 7). It's the bangs! Lol
This sounds so nice 🥹 I wouldn’t learn a new language for it but in another universe this sounds so sweet. Hopefully one day as a teacher I can make kids happy too
This is so cute TT I’m sorry if this may sound offensive but I am genuinely curious. How much Japanese do you understand to be able to teach there? Like are you completely fluent in both writing and speaking?
As an English learner, I can’t imagine learning straight from a native speaker who doesn’t understand what I say, and there’s no guarantee I’d understand everything they say. They wouldn’t be able to explain it in a way that I understand. How am I supposed to ask questions or voice out my complication in learning English. Imagine barely getting the hang of the language, and now you need to form complex sentences to ask questions or talk about something that confuses you? I don’t think this works well for English learners who don’t speak English at all in their daily lives (only in English oral exams or presentations).
You aren't the primary teacher you supplement the Japanese teacher who is actually in charge. @@meow7629 Anyway immersion in language learning is actually a positive thing and there is communication beyond just verbal, how do you think you learned English to begin with?
When you said some kids gave me flowers but I could bearly understand them, all I can think that you might have accepted a engagement proposal without realizing 😂😂
Watching your clips has made me interested in learning Japanese. Any suggestions on where to start or tips to fast- track me? Maybe make some clips exploring learning Japanese. 👍
My dream is to one day live in Japan and be a teacher, either English or my native language Finnish. Your videos really inspire me and make me believe I can really achieve my dream some day❤Thank you
I'm a 55 year old man from Dallas, TX. I had a friend in the 90s who was an English teacher in Japan. It was a beautiful experience for him.
that's so cool! and we're from the same area :)
I don’t know what makes me so interested that you’re 55 and scrolling through yt shorts but it does!
Omg! Do you work at cinemark??

This woman is like genuinely beautiful and wholesome, like an actual 11/10 unlike a lot of people ive seen. Keep going girl youre doing great
I love the "who is this? This is jimin from BTS" 😂😂
Respectfully this woman is absolutely gorgeous
You can say it without the respectfully part lol, your comment was a compliment. It was nicely worded to begin with, don't worry about it
Fax
@@MrJodrick nah. Just gorgeous and pretty
@@MrJodrick uh….
woah this is actually my dream job, I'm learning Japanese right now and its going pretty well.
That's awesome! Keep it up! You can do it 🥳
Is teaching English your dream job? Forget about Japan for a second, would you be an English teacher where you live right now? If not, reconsider.
She couldn’t understand what the students were saying… doesn’t seem like you have to learn Japanese
well I've researched and you don't actually need to learn Japanese, i just wanted to so that i can have conversations with people who only speak their native language Japanese@@MaidenHelll
My, my this comment blew up wow.
HELPPP WHAT IS JIMIN DOING THERE😂😂💜💜💜
A lot of Japanese people are very polite and kind
Dude you look like the main reporter girl in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Like at the beginning. With that perfect sideways smile. It was so cute 🥰 keep having fun girl. Cant wait to go to Japan someday :3
She sounded so excited at the end lol Her voice went full-anime.
She is gorgeous. No wonder they love her. :)

Bro got that English author rizz
You look like the kinda teacher all students have crush on
ARE YOU AN ARMY? I saw Jimin on one of your presentation 😂
I love that one of the tags for the caption is “gingerinjapan” 😭
The Jimin from bts was so cute haha 💜
I have visited Japan twice. Each time the people were friendly, humble and polite. They wanted to talk to us and ask about the U.S.
Japan is absolutely gorgeous. I’m going to visit someday, have other countries on my bucket list, but Japan is pretty high on the list^^
Japan is so pretty istg
when the subtitles said 'hank' i thought it said 'hanako' and for i sec i was kinda excited 😭 I'm literally brain dead i swear 😭
Your co workers love giving you food
She really be living that anime girl life
I really want to go to Japan but I have terrible social anxiety and really hate being stared at. So here's the question: I have red hair as well, how often and how intensely are you stared at if at all?
You can look asian and still get stared at…. I find wearing a mask really helps if I feel too self conscious

Background music is ❤❤️🔥❤️🔥✨️✨️
What is the song?
@Apaintingofher it's Nami's theme but I think it's remixed
Those elementary kids have more rizz than me who is 16

You literally look like someone painted you. You actually look unreal!
bro chill she is AI generated
This sounds so nice 🥹 I wouldn’t learn a new language for it but in another universe this sounds so sweet. Hopefully one day as a teacher I can make kids happy too
Thank you for sharing... I will never get over there so it's nice to see it.
My sister teaches English in Japan aswell and I can say this is very accurate
This is so cute TT

You don’t have to understand any Japanese at all but it makes life easier

She summoned an entire fandom.
God i would love to do this life
I like the whole bike riding teacher. It’s much more humane than driving an suv
I love ur work and your adventures
That smug face of inner happiness! I hope the exude that vibe someday ♡
NAMI IS THAT YO-
What I was thinking
Did anyone else notice she was using an ost that's name is mother sea and it's from one piece
YES I DID I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT
@@ThatRandoWeirdo23670nice
One question do you watch one piece and if you do what episode are you on
Iam on episode 1000
It's just Nami soundtrack though
@@chingizzhylkybayev8575 wait it is
I thought it was the mother sea ost because it started with something that sounded like it
I apologise
Bro when the 'tuturu' from mayuri came into the song,my brain started producing happy chemicals
When you said some kids gave me flowers but I could bearly understand them, all I can think that you might have accepted a engagement proposal without realizing 😂😂
Dude you are the basic American English teacher in Japan in every anime Oh my god!! And you have cute red hair thats just amazing!!
why so many people go without learning japanese?
Ikr.
Many people don’t have the means to visit Japan, and there are other more widespread languages to learn like Spanish.
@@the-internet-lurker5886 he refers to the teacher who is in Japan and doesn't know Japanese
Except there's no real insinuation of who he refers to. The way he wrote it indicates an open question, not specific for the teacher.@@Cosmoron
She is soo good it is wholesome and beautiful in japan too
Love the Nami theme in the back
Stoppp your life is an anime 😭
Bro what 😭💀
Explain why you’re speaking English
Shes an english teacher??
@@Thebrighestsunxan English teacher speaking English?!? That's preposterous!!

Love the howls moving castle towel!
If she was my English teacher… damn I’d be one happy man
Japan is so clean!
A stamp for your signature seems pretty convenient, since you just press the stamp to the paper.
hurricane stopping food deliveries is probably a thing that you can only experience in Japan lol
Oddly enough that's the same exact energy drink mix I use and I get it from Aldi lol
The little kids giving you a flower was so cuuutee
That kid is so wholesome 😭
Watching your clips has made me interested in learning Japanese. Any suggestions on where to start or tips to fast- track me? Maybe make some clips exploring learning Japanese. 👍
My first cousin did this, she loved it and wants to go back.
Everyone seems so generous. I would love to visit and think i would fit in so well.
You are living the dream. I only could afford Japan for a 2 week trip. Next time will be in 5 years...
I wanted to focus on the content but the first thing I thought when the video started was "woah what a beauty"
WHY IS THIS SO BEAUTIFUL
Ur co-workers are so niceeee. Bless all of y'all frr 😭😭💖💖
“Fall is finally coming”
Me in the 20 degree weather: “WHYYY”
She is so pretty
Every time you come up I get jumpscared thinking you're makima
“Who’s that? Jimin from bts !” 😂😂
I lived in Japan for a few years on the island of Okinawa. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
Best nostalgia, watching your shorts 😁😁😁
A real life animé character teaching English in Japan! Those Japanese eyeballs must be buggin’!

Girl ur so pretty!!! 😍😍❤️❤️
I am definitely on your side. Go teach! Go teach! Maybe not your birthday. But go teach!
ngl Japan is so pretty, I love all the countryside fields and architecture.
Quite the most calming slice of life
I feel like this is what Nami would be doing if she wasn’t a pirate
My dream is to one day live in Japan and be a teacher, either English or my native language Finnish. Your videos really inspire me and make me believe I can really achieve my dream some day❤Thank you
I got the exact same case as a gift from my teacher for my Hanko.
Love to see how you live there. Please do keep it up
These videos make me want to go to Japan
No way we got Makima as a teacher before GTA 6
Red headed cutie pie in Japan.
