Hi there, I just found out my placement in Fukuyama (Hiroshima placement) and I’m kinda anxious as there’s little to none online info. So, I wanted to find out anyone’s experience there. I’d really appreciate anyone’s feedback
- School life (what was your typical schedule like?)
- Teaching life (were you given resources or teaching materials by the schools?)
- Support (what kind of support did you receive from your BOE and schools)
- Challenges (any challenges that you had to overcome?)
- Accommodation (was housing paid for or subsidized or something that you had to organize alone?)
- Transportation (how did you commute to work? Is it an easy route or not so much)
- Language (How much Japanese did you need to know to get by in daily life and at work?)
- Community/ social life (Are there any social groups or activities you recommend joining?)
- Final questions (Is there anything you wish you had known before starting your position in Fukuyama? Do you have any final advice for making the most of this experience?)
