if they gave me a break for neither being Japanese nor speaking Japanese.

I never understood why richer/more influential countries don’t teach foreigners their language at an affordable price. I think china was doing it for free with the Confucius institute before they all got shut down. But Japan is probably the most hyped location in the world yet they’re not out here shilling their language lol

It probably wouldn’t even be that expensive to run a program where you send like, college students or recent graduates to teach your language in another country.

Can you imagine how willing US schools would be to get a foreign language teacher who’s a native speaker whose salary is covered?
