+# Directional Verb Compliment - **qǐlái**
+
+## Usage 1
+
+We say in english "Stand Up" if you want the user to stand in an upward direction. Chinese has the same thing. They say:
+
+**Verb + qǐlái**
+
+qǐlái - serves as a directional compliment, an action moving from low to high
+
+站起来
+Zhàn qǐlái
+Stand up
+
+跳起来
+Tiào qǐlái
+Jump up
+
+收到PS5Pro以后，我跳起来了
+Shōu dào PS5Pro yǐhòu, wǒ tiào qǐláile
+After receiving the PS5Pro, I jumped up
+
+飞机飞起来了
+Fēijī fēi qǐláile
+The plane took off.
+LIT: The Plane flew from low to high.
+
+## Usage 2
+
+When it comes to the five senses, we use qǐlái as a virtual direction to express subjective feelings. 
+
+I have no idea what that actually means, but adding it at the end of a verb shifts the verb to something that is subjective about the subject. Note, this only applies to the five sense verbs (kàn, tīng, wé, chàng, mō) So instead of "The Seafood is looking at something delicious" it becomes "the seafood looks delicious“
+
+海鲜看起来很好吃
+Hǎixiān **kàn qǐlái** hěn hào chī
+The seafood **looks** delicious
+
+我看起来太帅了
+Wǒ kàn qǐlái tài shuàile
+I look so handsome
+
+我的日本姐妹看起来很聪明
+Wǒ de rìběn jiěmèi kàn qǐlái hěn cōngmíng
+My Japanese sister looks smart
+
+这些游戏看起来很好玩儿
+Zhèxiē yóuxì kàn qǐlái hěn hǎowán er
+These games look fun.
+
+这首歌听起来很好听|
+Zhè shǒu gē tīng qǐlái hěn hǎotīng
+This song sounds nice
+
+你的圣经朗读听起来很清楚
+Nǐ de shèngjīng lǎngdú tīng qǐlái hěn qīngchǔ
+Your Bible reading sounds clear
+
+你的演讲听起来很鼓励人
+Nǐ de yǎnjiǎng tīng qǐlái hěn gǔlì rén
+Your speech sounds very encouraging.
+
+火鸡闻起来太香了
+Huǒ jī wén qǐlái tài xiāngle
+The turkey smells so good.
+

+Wǒ bàba de jiǎo wén qǐlái tài chòule

+To make a suggestion using a verb, stick たら after a verb, then add どうですか。たら means "try to". This only works if they haven't already tried it, obviously. Use the verb stem, as たら would be a conjugation.

+- 薬をのんだら、どうですか？ -> Have you tried drinking medicine?
+
+- 休んだら、どうですか？ -> Have you tried resting?
+

+- 今日は学校を休んだら？ -> Skipping school today
+
+Can also say どう instead of どうですか, makes it more kind/less formal

+
+到着します -> とうちゃくします -> Arrival (Same as above but different way of saying it)
+
+
+
+# Asking How Long 
+
+You can ask about how much time something took or how long something is by using "どれぐらい" or "どのぐらい” in front of the activity or thing your asking about. Works for height, length, time, 
+
+どれぐらい寝ていますか？ -> About how long did you sleep?
+
+
+
+# Surprised Responses 
+
+## も 
+
+Bit of a side note, but if your surprised about a response or shocked about it or something, you can say the response and add "も" after it. Its like your saying "wow thats a lot" after the number, but it does NOT apply to things that are "so few". (see later for that)
+
+How long did you sleep? 12 Hours. 12 Hours!??
+
+どれぐらい寝ていますか？ 二十時間。二十時間も！
+
+Can also add the rest of the sentence if you feel like it.
+
+
+
+## しか 
+
+If your surprised for something being so few, you can use "しか”, much like ”も”, but the following verb has to be in negative tense. Actually very similar to "だけ”, but the verbs after だけ can be positive, but the verb after しか must be negative.
+
+This college is only 30,000 yen. **Only** costs 30,000yen!?!
+
+学費は三万円です。三万円**しか**かかりません！
+
+
+
+# ませんか as an invitation / Volitional Form
+
+This is used for an invitation, when inviting multiple people (including yourself), you can invite in two ways, polite and non-polite.
+
+1. polite form is to stick ~ませんか at the end of a verb (or whatever the conjugation is). 
+
+2. non-polite is to just say the negative form of the verb, no か or nothing, just give a slight second tone inflection at the end to indicate its a question
+
+明日は映画に行きませんか？ Want to go see a movie tomorrow?
+
+
+
+In responding, there's also two ways to respond in kind
+
+1. Polite Form -> Stick ましょう at the end of the verb
+
+2. Non-Polite Form -> Use Volitional Form:

+# I want to.... || -たい 
+
+Conjugate verb to -ます form, and then cut off the ます, and stick -たい at the end. 
+
+お腹がすいたので、らめんをたべたいです - My stomach has been emptied, so I want to eat Ramen
+
+のどが渇いたので、水を飲みたいです - I'm thristy, so I want to drink water
+
+仕事に疲れたので、旅行したいです - I'm tired because of work, so I want to go on a trip

+
+さみしいので、結婚したいです -> Because I'm lonely, I want to get married
+
+*Bro same. I think he's onto us.* I doubt it. Probably.
+
+
+
+#### **To Ask:** 
+
+Just stick "なにを” before the verb and か at the end of the sentence. Also applies to other question words. Just a regular question sentence with -たい at the end
+
+昼に何を食べたいですか？ -> In the afternoon, what do you want to eat?
+
+今どこかに行きたいですか？ -> Where would you like to go now?
+
+なにをしたいですか？ -> What do you like to do?
+
+どんな人と結婚したいですか？-> What kind of person do you want to marry?
+
+*....Does he know?* He doesn't right. *THIS IS THE SECOND TIME.* I KNOW
+
+
+
+#### **To Negate** 
+
+Instead of -たい、add -たくない
+
+熱いので、外で遊びたくないです -> Because its hot, I don't want to play outside
+
+仕事ので、旅行に行きたくないです -> I don't want to go on a trip because of work.
+
+お腹がいっぱいですので、なにも食べたくない - I'm full, so I don't want to eat
+
+悲しいので、何もしたくない -> I'm sad and I don't want to do anything
+
+
+
+#### **To Make into Past Tense** 
+
+Instead of -たい, it turns into -たかった, and for negative, instead of -たくない, its -たくなかった
+
+悲しかったので、何もしたくなかった -> She was sad, so she didn't want to do anything
+
+お腹がいっぱいでしたので、何も食べたくなかったです - He was so full, he didn't want to eat anything
+
+
+
+#### **For い-adjectives** 
+
+Replace the last い with "-たい”, or any of the other versions of it. For な-Adjectives, uh... I guess conjugate なる after it. See example I definitely didn't pull out of my butt.
+
+ほしい -> ほしたい -> want to be wanted. I think.
+
+便利になりたい -> want to become convenient?
+
+Ok look there wasn't a lot of instruction on this one, ok? Just... never use adjectives ever again, problem solved, yea?
+
+#### Using がる for い-Adj 
+
+So, がる is just a verb that means "to show signs of being", so we don't need to use "looks like they want to be ADJ" we can just use がる without that -た, becuase we're not saying they want to. So, it'd just be 暑がっています, or 欲しがっています, for looks like they are hot, or looks like they want something.
+
+彼女はかばんを欲しがっています -> The girl wants the bag
+
+
+
+#### **Talking about what somebody else wants** 
+
+Instead of -たい, its -たがる, but conjugated accordingly. Its usually a continuous feeling, so most of the time its -たがっています. Using this structure focuses more on our own observations/feelings about somebody else, rather then what is actually happening in their head. 
+
+彼は結婚したがっています -> He wants to get married 
+
+子供はおもちゃを欲しいがっています -> The child wants to have toys
+
+大学生は旅行に行きたがっています -> The college student wants to go on a trip
+
+
+
+
+
+Talking about someone else, but making it negative
+
+Same as above, but make it -たがっていません。

+
+
+# If / なら 
+
+The Japanese grammar point **なら (nara)** is a versatile conditional particle that expresses **hypothetical situations**, **contrasts**, or **provides information based on a premise**. It's often translated as "if," "if it's about," or "in that case."
+
+Here's a breakdown of its main uses:
+
+## 1. Conditional Statements (If...)  
+
+**なら** can be used to create conditional sentences, similar to **ば (ba)** or **たら (tara)**, but it often implies a more specific or hypothetical condition.
+
+- **Structure:**
+
+    - Noun/な-adjective + なら
+
+    - い-adjective + なら (less common, usually the stem + なら)
+
+    - Verb (plain form) + なら
+
+- **Meaning:** "If [condition] is true/happens, then..."
+
+    - So like, its an if/then statement type logic particle.
+
+- **Examples:** 
+
+    - **時間があるなら**、手伝ってください。(Jikan ga **aru nara**, tetsudatte kudasai.)
+
+        - "**If** you have time, please help me."
+
+    - **雨なら**、家で映画を見ます。(**Ame nara**, ie de eiga o mimasu.)
+
+        - "**If** it's rain(ing), I'll watch a movie at home."
+
+    - **疲れているなら**、休みましょう。(**Tsukarete iru nara**, yasumimashou.)
+
+        - "**If** you are tired, let's rest."
+
+    - **日本へ行くなら**、お土産を買ってきてください。(**Nihon e iku nara**, omiyage o katte kite kudasai.)
+
+        - "**If** you go to Japan, please bring back souvenirs."
+
+**Comparison with ば (ba) and たら (tara):**
+
+- **ば (ba):** Tends to express more general, natural consequences or conditions.
+
+- **たら (tara):** Often used for specific past events or completed actions as a condition.
+
+- **なら (nara):** Frequently used when the condition is about a specific **topic** or **person**, or when introducing a **hypothetical scenario**.
+
+## 2. Referring to a Specific Topic/Thing (If it's about...)  
+
+This is a very common use of **なら**. It's used to focus on a particular subject and then provide information related to it.
+
+- **Structure:**
+
+    - Topic/Noun + なら
+
+- **Meaning:** "If it's about [topic]," "Regarding [topic]," "When it comes to [topic]."
+
+- **Examples:** 
+
+    - **寿司なら、** この店が一番おいしいです。(**Sushi nara**, kono mise ga ichiban oishii desu.)
+
+        - "**If it's about sushi / When it comes to sushi,** this restaurant is the most delicious."
+
+    - **田中さんのことなら、** 何でも知っていますよ。(**Tanaka-san no koto nara**, nandemo shitte imasu yo.)
+
+        - "**If it's about Mr./Ms. Tanaka,** I know everything."
+
+    - **この仕事なら、** 私に任せてください。(**Kono shigoto nara**, watashi ni makasete kudasai.)
+
+        - "**If it's this job / Regarding this job,** leave it to me."
+
+## 3. Contrast or Alternative (Instead of...) 
+
+**なら** can sometimes imply a contrast or suggest an alternative.
+
+- **Structure:**
+
+    - Option A + なら + Option B (or different action)
+
+- **Meaning:** "If it's [Option A], then (but if not/alternatively) [Option B]."
+
+- **Example:** 
+
+    - 映画を見る**なら**、もっと静かな場所がいいです。(Eiga o miru **nara**, motto shizuka na basho ga ii desu.)
+
+        - "**If** you're going to watch a movie, a quieter place would be better." (Implies: but for other activities, a loud place might be okay.)

+## 4. Introducing Information or a Decision based on a Premise 
+
+**なら** can introduce a logical consequence or a decision made based on the preceding statement.
+
+- **Structure:**
+
+    - Previous statement/premise + なら (followed by a new statement/decision)
+
+- **Meaning:** "In that case," "Then," "So."
+
+- **Examples:** 
+
+    - A: 「明日、仕事が休みです。」(Ashita, shigoto ga yasumi desu. - "Tomorrow, work is off.")
+    B: 「**そうなら**、一緒に買い物に行きましょう。」(**Sou nara**, issho ni kaimono ni ikimashou. - "**In that case/Then,** let's go shopping together.")
+
+    - A: 「この本は面白くないです。」(Kono hon wa omoshirokunai desu. - "This book isn't interesting.")
+    B: 「**なら**、他の本を借りましょう。」(**Nara**, hoka no hon o karimashou. - "**Then,** let's borrow another book.")
+
+## Key Points to Remember:
+
+- **Politeness:** **なら** itself is neutral. The politeness of the sentence depends on the verb or copula used at the end (e.g., です/ます for polite speech, plain form for casual speech).
+
+- **Not for general truths:** While it can be conditional, **なら** is often less about natural laws (like "If you heat water, it boils") and more about specific hypothetical situations, topics, or decisions. For general truths, **と (to)** is more common.
+
+- **Usage with pronouns:** **なら** can be used with pronouns like **そう (sou - like that)** and **それ (sore - that)** to refer back to a previous statement, as seen in "Sou nara" (In that case).
+
+らめんが美味しいところがありますか？　らめんならいちらんが美味しいですよ
+
+Another common use of なら is answer a question by setting a limit on possible results. Kind of only means "only" here.
+
+英語ができますか？ -> 少しならできます
+Can you speak english? -> Only a little bit.
+
+日本語が読みますか？ -> ひらがななら読みます。
+Can you read Japanese? -> I can only read hiragana.
+
+紅葉がいいところがありますか？紅葉なら京都が綺麗ところですよ
+
+英語の先生なら大学にいますよ -> If english teachers, they are at University
+
+山に登ろなら北海道がいいですよう -> 
+
+日本に行くなら刺身が食べたいです -> If I go to Japan, I want to eat sashimi.
+
+北海道に行くならスキーがしたいです -> If I go to Hokkaido, I want to go skiing
+
+いい人がいるなら結婚したいんです -> If I find a good person, I want to get married.
+
+
+
+# Discussing Intervals 
+
+週二回 -> Twice a week (LIT: week, two times)
+
+
+
+週二回英語を見ました -> Two times in a week I saw a movie
+
+日三回ご飯を食べます -> Eat three times a day
+
+日に二時間テレビを見ます -> Two hours 
+
+日に四時間本を読みます -> I read four hours a day
+

+

+
+Be careful what market you put after the person your doing it for, it'll depend on the verb being used after.
+
+Use に if we're doing the action that doesn't really involve the person. Cooking for them and presenting the results. Similar to using the English "to that person" instead of "for that person"
+
+However if the action does involve the person, like taking them somewhere, or doing something physical with them where they would be the subject of the verb at hand, use を.
+
+### Examples 
+
+私は友達に料理してあげます
+I for my friend cook
+
+先生はAさんに日本語を教えてあげます
+The teacher to A-san teaches Japanese

+
+# Might Be.... -> ~かもしれません 
+
+Kamoshiremasen (かもしれません) means "maybe" or "might" and is used to express possibility or uncertainty in Japanese.
+
+It often conveys a low degree of certainty, and has a lower probability then phrases like でしょう.
+
+
+#### How to Use
+
+
+You simply attach かもしれません to the end of a verb, noun, or adjective. It's an easy way to show that something is probable but not certain.
+
+#### Etymology
+
+The phrase ***kamoshiremasen*** **(かもしれません)** is a compound of three parts:
+
+- ***Ka*** **(か):** This is the interrogative particle that turns a statement into a question. You might know it from sentences like "Is it?" or "Did you go?"
+
+- ***Mo*** **(も):** This is an inclusive particle that means "even" or "also."
+
+- ***Shiremasen*** **(しれません):** This is the polite, negative potential form of the verb ***shiru*** **(知る)**, which means "to know." So, *shiremasen* literally means "cannot know."
+
+Putting it all together, the original and very literal meaning of ***kamoshiremasen*** is something like:
+
+**"Even if it is [the case], it cannot be known."**
+
+#### Common Attachments: 
+
+- **Verbs:** Attach to the plain form (dictionary form, ない-form, た-form).
+
+    - 行く (iku - to go) → 行くかもしれません (iku kamoshiremasen) "Maybe I'll go."
+
+    - 食べた (tabeta - ate) → 食べたかもしれません (tabeta kamoshiremasen) "Maybe I ate it."
+
+- **Nouns:** Attach directly to the noun.
+
+    - 雨 (ame - rain) → 雨かもしれません (ame kamoshiremasen) "It might be rain."
+
+- **い-Adjectives:** Attach directly to the adjective.
+
+    - 寒い (samui - cold) → 寒いかもしれません (samui kamoshiremasen) "It might be cold."
+
+- **な-Adjectives:** Attach the "plain" form of the adjective (without な).
+
+    - 静か (shizuka - quiet) → 静かかもしれません (shizuka kamoshiremasen) "It might be quiet."
+
+It’s often used in daily conversation to make a guess or a cautious statement.
+
+#### **Example Sentences:**
+
+- 田中さんは来ないかもしれません。 (Tanaka-san wa konai kamoshiremasen.)
+
+    - "Mr. Tanaka might not come."
+
+- この本は面白いかもしれませんね。 (Kono hon wa omoshiroi kamoshiremasen ne.)
+
+    - "This book might be interesting, don't you think?"
+
+- 熱があります。風邪かもしれませんし、インフルエンザかもしれませんし。
+
+- 曇りですから、雪が降るかもしれません
+
+    - Because it's cloudy, show might balling
+
+- テストがわかりませんでしたから、テストに落ちたかもしれません
+
+    - Because I didn't understand the test, maybe I fell (failed) in the test
+
+- 彼は最近早く帰りますから、彼女がいるかもしれません
+
+    - Because he's been returning early, maybe there's a woman
+
+- 一週間熱がありますから、悪い病気かもしれません
+
+- 電車が遅いですから、故障かもしれません
+
+    - Because the train is late, maybe because of a break down.

+
+## The Process of Getting an English Teaching Job in Japan (Okinawa Specifics)
+
+The general process typically involves these steps:
+
+1. **Research & Identify School Types:** Understand the different types of English teaching jobs available.
+
+2. **Prepare Your Application Documents:** Tailor your resume/CV and cover letter.
+
+3. **Job Search & Application:** Actively look for openings and apply.
+
+4. **Interviews:** Prepare for online or in-person interviews.
+
+5. **Visa Sponsorship & Paperwork:** Secure your visa.
+
+6. **Relocation & Arrival:** Plan your move.
+
+### 1. Research & Identify School Types in Okinawa
+
+Okinawa, like the rest of Japan, has several types of institutions that hire English teachers:
+
+- **Eikaiwa (English Conversation Schools):** These are private language schools.
+
+    - **Pros:** Often have continuous hiring, provide structured lessons, sometimes offer training. Many hire from overseas.
+
+    - **Cons:** Can have long or irregular hours, classes might be large, focus is on conversation rather than deeper teaching. Examples popular in Japan include ECC, AEON, Gaba. Smaller, local Eikaiwa are also abundant in Okinawa.
+
+- **JET Programme (Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme):** Government-sponsored program for Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in public schools.
+
+    - **Pros:** Excellent pay and benefits, cultural exchange focus, strong support system, unique experience.
+
+    - **Cons:** Highly competitive, application window is usually in **September-November for the following July/August**. Placement is nationwide, so while you can request Okinawa, it's not guaranteed.
+
+- **Dispatch Companies:** These companies hire ALTs and dispatch them to public elementary, junior high, and high schools.
+
+    - **Pros:** Less competitive than JET, relatively stable hours (school day), often the easiest entry into public schools.
+
+    - **Cons:** Lower pay than JET, fewer benefits, less job security (contract renewed yearly), sometimes limited involvement in curriculum. Major dispatch companies operating in Okinawa include Interac, Altia Central, Borderlink.
+
+- **Private Schools (Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High, High School):** Direct hire by private institutions.
+
+    - **Pros:** Good pay and benefits, more teaching autonomy, often more professional teaching environments.
+
+    - **Cons:** Highly competitive, require strong qualifications (your teaching degree is a big plus here!), often prefer teachers already in Japan with experience.
+
+- **Universities/Colleges:**
+
+    - **Pros:** Excellent pay, benefits, research opportunities, professional environment, lighter teaching load.
+
+    - **Cons:** Highly competitive, usually require an MA/PhD, significant teaching experience, and publications. Your Bachelor's in Neuroscience could be an asset if combined with further study in a related field.
+
+**For Okinawa specifically:** The demand for Eikaiwa and dispatch ALTs is consistent. There are also many local Okinawan private schools. Due to the significant U.S. military presence, there are also opportunities at international schools (e.g., Okinawa Christian School International, Kubasaki High School, Kadena High School etc.) on the bases, though these often require U.S. teaching licenses and specific experience. However, your teaching degree is still a major asset for these.
+
+### 2. Prepare Your Application Documents
+
+- **Resume/CV:**
+
+    - **Format:** Typically 1-2 pages, clear, concise. Japanese companies appreciate neatness and professionalism.
+
+    - **Content:** Highlight your Bachelor's in Teaching (mention your practicum/student teaching if applicable), your Neuroscience degree (showcases academic rigor), and your TESOL certification. Emphasize any experience working with children or in educational settings, even if not formal teaching.
+
+    - **Photo:** A professional passport-style photo is often expected on Japanese resumes.
+
+- **Cover Letter:** Tailor each letter to the specific school/company. Express your enthusiasm for teaching English in Japan, specifically Okinawa, and how your skills and qualifications (especially your teaching degree) make you a strong candidate.
+
+- **Letters of Recommendation:** Have 2-3 professional references ready.
+
+- **Transcripts/Certificates:** Have digital and physical copies of your degrees and TESOL ready.
+
+### 3. Best Ways to Find a Job in Okinawa
+
+Given your qualifications, here are the most effective strategies:
+
+- **Online Job Boards (Most Common & Effective):**
+
+    - **GaijinPot Jobs:** One of the most popular sites for foreigners seeking jobs in Japan. Many Eikaiwa and dispatch companies post here. You can filter by location (Okinawa).
+
+    - **Daijob.com:** More professional jobs, but worth checking for private school or higher-level Eikaiwa roles.
+
+    - **Jobs in Japan:** Similar to GaijinPot.
+
+    - **ELT News:** A good resource for more academic/private school postings, though less frequent for entry-level.
+
+    - **Indeed Japan:** Growing in popularity for English teaching jobs.
+
+    - **Specific Company Websites:** Directly check the career pages of major Eikaiwa (AEON, ECC, Gaba, Berlitz) and dispatch companies (Interac, Altia Central, Borderlink) as they often recruit year-round.
+
+- **JET Programme:** If you're looking for a public school setting and are flexible with exact location within Japan (with a strong preference for Okinawa), this is a fantastic option. **Be aware of the application timeline (typically Fall for summer departure).**
+
+- **Direct Approach (for Private Schools/Smaller Eikaiwa):**
+
+    - Search online for "private schools Okinawa" or "Eikaiwa Okinawa."
+
+    - Many smaller, local schools might not advertise on big job boards but will have websites. You can often send a direct inquiry with your resume and cover letter. Your teaching degree will make you stand out here.
+
+- **Networking:** If you know anyone already in Okinawa, leverage their network. Online communities (e.g., Facebook groups for "English Teachers in Okinawa" or "Expats in Okinawa") can also be valuable for tips and leads.
+
+- **Recruitment Agencies:** Some agencies specialize in placing English teachers in Japan. Do your research to ensure they are reputable.
+
+### 4. Interviews
+
+- Most initial interviews will be conducted online (Skype, Zoom).
+
+- Be prepared to discuss your teaching philosophy, classroom management, and why you want to live and work in Okinawa.
+
+- Research the company/school thoroughly.
+
+- Have questions ready for them.
+
+- Demonstrate enthusiasm and cultural awareness.
+
+### 5. Visa Sponsorship & Paperwork
+
+- **Crucial Point:** You **cannot** just show up in Japan and look for work. You need a valid work visa **before** you arrive.
+
+- **Sponsorship:** The vast majority of legitimate English teaching jobs will offer visa sponsorship. This means the school/company handles the bulk of the paperwork with Japanese immigration on your behalf.
+
+- **Required Documents:** You'll typically need your original degree, TESOL certificate, official transcripts, passport, and various forms provided by the company. Some might require a criminal background check.
+
+- **Processing Time:** Visa processing can take several weeks to a few months.
+
+### 6. Relocation & Arrival
+
+- **Accommodation:** Some Eikaiwa provide initial accommodation or help finding it. Dispatch companies often assist. Research housing costs in Okinawa; they can vary.
+
+- **Cost of Living:** Okinawa generally has a lower cost of living than major cities like Tokyo or Osaka, but it's still Japan, so plan your budget carefully.
+
+- **Flights:** Book your flight after your visa is confirmed.
+
+- **Initial Expenses:** Have funds for initial living expenses, rent deposits, utilities, and setting up your new life.
+
+## Your Strengths and How to Leverage Them
+
+- **Bachelor's in Teaching:** This is a huge asset! It sets you apart from many candidates who only have a bachelor's in another field and a TESOL. Highlight your pedagogical knowledge, classroom management skills, and experience with curriculum development. This makes you particularly attractive to private schools and can give you an edge with dispatch companies and even JET.
+
+- **Neuroscience Degree:** This showcases your academic prowess, analytical skills, and potentially an interest in how people learn. While not directly teaching-related, it speaks to your intellectual capabilities. You could briefly mention an interest in educational psychology stemming from this background, if relevant to a specific role.
+
+- **TESOL Certification:** This is the standard entry requirement for most English teaching jobs in Japan. It demonstrates you've had training specifically for teaching English as a second language.
+
+**Best Way to Find a Job with Your Profile:**
+
+1. **Prioritize the JET Programme Application (if timing allows):** Given your teaching degree, you're a very strong candidate for JET. If the application window is open (usually September-November), definitely apply. The benefits and experience are unparalleled.
+
+2. **Actively Apply to Dispatch Companies (Interac, Altia Central, Borderlink):** Your teaching degree will make you a prime candidate for ALTs. These companies are usually hiring year-round.
+
+3. **Search GaijinPot and Daijob.com for Eikaiwa and Private School Roles:** Filter heavily for Okinawa. Your teaching degree might open doors at more reputable Eikaiwa or direct-hire private schools that want teachers with formal training.
+
+4. **Explore International Schools (if U.S. licensed or eligible):** While competitive, your teaching degree makes you a stronger candidate for these if you can meet other requirements.
+
+Start your job search well in advance, as the process for Japan (especially visa sponsorship) takes time. Good luck! Okinawa is a beautiful place to live and teach.

+おはようございます！
+
+僕の名前はSpencer Grimes、沖縄に十月に移住するつもりです。教師の仕事を探しています。ぼくは中等教育の学士号、TESOL教員資格を持ち、九千時間以上の教育経験を持っています。僕の日本語はまあまあ、でも言語を学ぶのが好きです。中国語も話します。僕は母国語である英語でも書き、より詳しい内容を述べます。
+
+Greetings!
+As stated above, my name is Spencer Grimes, and I am planning to move to Okinawa in October on a tourist visa, and am looking for a teaching position. I am American, and currently live in the United States. I already have plans to be in Okinawa from October to December (On the Tourist Visa), but am looking to make it a permanent move. As I mentioned above, I have a Bachelors Degree in Secondary Education, minoring in Neuroscience, A TESOL Certificate accompanied with a 120 Hour course on various teaching methods specifically on teaching language, and over 9000 hours of teaching experience as a volunteer teacher since 2013.
+
+I am requesting Visa Sponsorship, but am also perfectly happy with a part time or full time position, I think part time would actually be a bit better, if that's possible. I am planning on living around 沖縄市 or 宜野湾市, but that's not set in stone. If I am somebody you might be interested in hiring, I would be more then happy to meet with you, or provide more information, any forms or degrees, or anything else I can help with.
+
+お時間をいただきありがとうございました!

+- From Robbie:
+
+    Sure thing, I’ll call you later to brainstorm something.
+
+    I do know one thing that I can help you save some time. Mostly people get hired for teaching jobs in January to prep for the April start of school year.
+
+    A brother just left. He tried his best to find a job and couldn’t.
+
+    He did the same as you. Got the qualifications. Still nothing for him.
+
+    There’s a big difference though. He is married, you guys are single. Easier on the visa side.
+
+    But I would also consider getting an American remote work job and applying for the Japanese study visa. You can have it for up to 2/3 years I think.
+
+    Yes, but if the business thinks is too much of a hassle to get yours and your wife’s visa. They prefer not to even start the process.
+
+    I’d ask ChatGPT about that. I know a 100% American lady that came with a student visa, started a business, now she has business visa.
+
+    Just know that regarding work, is way better to find something there and come with student visa.
+
+    You need to understand one point. Getting the visa is a big hassle for a company, because they’re responsible for you. If you mess up, they’ll have a problem.
+
+    Also there’s already hundreds of qualified people living here. (By qualified I mean they’re native English speakers)
+
+    Waaaaaaay better trying to find something in IT that your skills will make a way bigger difference.
+
+    There are brothers that although they don’t have any Japanese blood in them, they’re single yet they live in Japan. Got the visa from work.
+
+    One works at traders office.
+
+    Other works for Subaru on the art concept.
+
+    Other works for an IT firm.
+
+    Those are the ones I know.
+
+    Hum…it will be way easier to find something when you’re here too.
+
+    I personally would through the Japanese study visa. You need Japanese to enter the job market anyway.
+
+    If you can sustain yourself while learning Japanese that would be good.
+
+    I’m messaging because this is something you can comeback to and read again. This might be Jehovah talking to you, not me.
+
+    I mean,  is better than getting your heart broken. It was rough seeing the brother here looking for work for 3 months straight and not find anything
+
+
+
+Daily Text July 16th - 
+
+> 1 Cor 3:20 - And again: “Jehovah knows that the reasonings of the wise men are futile."
+
+> Psalms 94:11 - Jehovah knows the thoughts of men,
+ That they are but a mere breath.+
+
+We got ahead of ourselves, and had to be reminded to sit down, shut up, and see the salvation of Jehovah. Our prayers today were not of asking to go to Okinawa. They were just asking for Reina, in whatever form that happens. Jehovah knows what is best for us, and for her, and what needs to happen. Personally, I do believe that Reina and I ending up together would be best for both of us. Not because I am confident in myself, but because I know, and have proven the lengths I am wiling to go for her, and an undying loyal love. Jehovah hears our prayers, and can read our hearts. We trust him to take care of us both, in the best way possible.
+
+
+
+Jehovah knows best. 
+
+Douglas Westmore - Teacher at Orchard Road English. For some reason, likes me and wants to help me get a job. Trust this man with our lives, for he has been sent by Jehovah. 
+
+Also, talked to Robbie. Apparently, getting to Okinawa is not only very, very difficult, but also a dream of many, and has driven some other witnesses to desperation. Make no mistake though. Okinawa is not our goal, it is simply a stepping stone. Our goal is Reina. I don't know why Jehovah decided to help us, out of everyone else. If Jehovah has decided to help us, then we will very gratefully accept his help, and will appreciate him for it, will thank him for it, give him our undying loyalty, and love him for it. These are promises. Never forget these.

+
+
+List of Okinwa Work Life Requests:
+
+Must Haves:
+
+- No Army Contracts 
+
+    I know this one's a bit weird, but I'll explain. As I mentioned before, we are bible teachers and our primary reason for coming to Okinawa in the first place would be to further that work. The bible is also rather pointed in the whole "Love your Neighbor" and "Do not kill" departments, and as such, we would be unable to take part in anything that would contribute to that. What I mean by all of this, is anything that would require us to sign up for and be considered part of the military, from our understanding of bible principles and our consciences, we decided that we would not be able to do. Now, there are also things like going on base to help with kids there, and stuff like that. These are very different then actually being part of the military, and I'd be far more open to these kind of things, but probably best to consider case by case basis. It's more about not directly supporting any military actions, or giving the appearance that I am, something like that. Sorry for the confusing explanation.
+
+- Wednesday Nights and Weekends off 
+
+    I've got existing meetings on Wednesday nights and the weekends that I want to make sure I'm there for
+
+Nice to Haves:
+
+- Part time, maybe?
+
+    I know this one is a bit of a stretch, but may as well mention it. My goal in Okinawa is not to make money. I'll also probably keep a few web development contracts if I can. If I can make enough to live a simple life, I'm perfectly content with that, and that seems to be much easier to do in Japan, then it is in America. All that being said, I know there has to be a certain amount of money you have to make in order to even be considered for a VISA application, I think its something around 180k-200k円, and we'd likely be helping with children, not rocket scientists (although that'd be fun to), so not being full time is pretty much unavoidable. But, if by some chance we're able to hit that amount only working a few days a week, I'd be very grateful. 
+
+- Fridays Off
+
+    Kind of pigging backing off the last few, my goal is to continue to be able to teach the bible to those who are interested in learning, and the main days for that in Okinawa are Friday-Sunday, so if I'm able to have those off, that'd be great. But, I know there's also certain paygrades to reach and all that, which is why this is in the "Nice to Haves" section.
+
+- Location
+
+    I think where we'd like to end up living in pretty central in the island, around Ginowan or Okinawa City. A lot of the positions we were seeing open were in some of those areas, but also a lot in Naha. Closer to home would be better, because less driving is always better then more driving, but this is pretty low on the "nice to haves". If we have to drive an hour to work every day, then so be it.
