Oh and I concur with the comments about working for a bank over there…preferably an investment bank like Merril Lynch etc. I know people doing really well that way, 3-4 times what you would get paid teaching english.

Dude I did japanese at canterbury university and I’ve been there four times. I gotta say the best lessons I’ve ever come across are at this website http://www.japanesepod101.com/ sign up for the free trial and download as many podcasts as you have time to fit on your mp3 player. Really easy short lessons, do one each day walking/driving to work and repeat it on the way home… i’m seriously really impressed with these people.

Hi,

I’m learning Japanese too.

Back then when I started I put a lot of time in finding teh best book for beginners on how to learn Japanese. I finally found it. It’s called “Genki”. Here’s their website: http://genki.japantimes.co.jp/whatis04.en.html

I purchased these books on Amazon.jp

Here’s a good article about these books:

As for the editor, you can try out “jWpce”. You can find it here:

Good luck.

Brett, you could probably get a job teaching English fairly easily. You might also want to consider putting your web design skills to use working for a multinational bank. Many banks in Tokyo don’t require you to know any Japanese, and they’ll even bring in instructors to teach you. I’ve known a number of traders / developers / quants, who have gone to Tokyo for a few years and really enjoyed it.

Maybe if we get enough Wellington geeks together, we could get a one-off Beginner’s Japanese for Geeks course running or something…? What do people think out there?

I think this is an excellent idea! I say go for it! We should try to learn some Japanese over the ‘net if possible. Haha. I am horrible at languages…I would really mess you up!

Brett wants to meet some Japanese girls! LOL! For some reason that just hits me as being funny. Though, I must admit Japanese guys can be sexy. ^_~

You’re making me hungry with all the good sounding food. Dang. haha. You’re not old, so stop thinking it! @_@
