I would say (to native English speakers), LEARN ENGLISH IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN JAPAN. I'm not saying my grammar is spot on all the time, but there's a clear difference between making a small mistake and the tons of threads created on here like "i wan to live in japn and im 20 and i dont have a dgree and i was wondering if i culd live in japan."

If you can't articulate yourself in the most comfortable environment (your own home, where you can spruce up any response before submitting it), why would anyone want to talk to you about a job? Is this the way you would write an inquiry? For those of you who may say "I only write like that to my friends," what's the point? Learning two different ways to type; one stupid and the other proper for the sake of being cool or something? It drives me NUTS when people write like idiots.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
