Hello!
I'm currently a French student at a French university studying French lit, Latin and Ancient Greek — for a position as a French teacher in France.
I've always loved Japan and wanna live there blablabla the usual.
This will probably sound even more ridiculous than all the other posts on this sub — but I was wondering if anyone was even learning these languages at any Japanese universities (Todai are you there?).
I am enjoying academics and realise that I need fluent Japanese (I'm slowly but surely working towards that) and a specific in-demand skill to even have a chance at moving there.
However this is all I got lmao.
I'm still young and not an academic but I was wondering if Japanese universities took in any foreign academics in these kinds of fields? I imagine these positions would be quite rare and also quite sought after.
On the flip side, is studying in Japan (from zero, I mean signing up for a Japanese degree in Japan) and following through with a job something that is doable as a foreigner (excluding the language barrier)? Maybe in like a couple years with a bit of money saved and the language figured out I could study all over again in Japan?
These questions are surely quite naive, Japan is just something I'm examining at the moment, nothing too serious.
