Hi!

Yes I can speak pretty good mandarin too. I can even speak cantonese as I've been speaking the dialect to my family since I was a little girl. However, for these languages I'm sure the schools in Japan would prefer to employ those from China or Hong Kong right? People from these countries will tend to have a better command of the language than me at least.
