Hey guys. I’m half Japanese half Korean but I grew up in the states. I never went to Japanese school but we communicate in the family with Japanese. I’m now 27 and I live in Southeast Asia for work. I’m actually here as a professional athlete. I’m getting older and I know that after my career, I’ll end up going back to Japan to settle and work. Speaking to my colleagues that live in Japan, they said that knowing English would help greatly for job searching.
The thing is, I can speak casually, but I can’t read or write (just a little bit of hiragana/katakana).
I know I have to get back to learning the language to live/work in Japan. What programs/platform do you suggest I learn on? Whether that’d be online or books. Any suggestions are welcomed!
I plan on taking a placement test to see where my level is, but I want to learn from scratch as I never really took classes in Japanese.
I know I have to learn business/work related language as I know nothing about that. Same with mannerism and “keigo”.
Let me know your guy’s suggestions! I’m okay with spending money on a course as long as it’s good and effective.
