If I put a protective cover on it will it still need to be sprayed and hung out? Its too heavy for me to move outside and we get a lot of rain- not many sunny days.
@kintsugik
Ай бұрын
I don't think the protective cover will do much. Maybe even make mold grow faster. Futons trap heat (your body heat) and moisture (moisture from you and the air in general). So it must be aired out no matter what. Unfortunately, futons are high maintenance. If you cannot air it outside, at least flip it over and/or let it air out in your room by hanging it up somewhere. That way the heat and moisture can dissipate. This is also why I recommend anti-mold spray. Hope this helps you.

@@gdvvgdfv Sure. You can just throw the futon over the door and let the moisture and heat dissipate. I don't have any experience with tatami mats. However, I haven't seen anyone in Japan hang their tatami mats over the balcony to air it out. Could be that tatami mats are usually made out of straw and it doesn't trap heat and moisture like futons do. If you're worried about it, I would just flip it over when you wake up and then flip it back when you go to bed so any moisture doesn't get trapped on the under side.

Thank you so much for making this video. I just sent in my first inquiry to the program before finding this, and I'm really relieved that they seem to have retained their reputation from those early internet blogs. The schools I've researched in Tokyo tend to put far more focus on writing than speaking, so I was looking for something the other way around. Might I ask what your experience was with learning kanji from beginner level? Do they individualize that aspect to the student's needs? ほんとうにありがとう!
@kintsugik
Ай бұрын
I began studying Chinese Mandarin in high school so I can't really say I learned kanji at the beginner level. But to answer your question. They do give writing worksheets to practice kanji. You are expected to know a certain amount of kanji. There are class practices on kanji. And they do encourage you to write your essays using kanji. With that being said, the vibe I get is that it's okay if you lag behind or struggle to use kanji. And no, they do not individualize that aspect to your needs. I think I'll make a video talking about this to help you guys out.

I am still trying to figure out if the speaking time in class is so relevant. Let's say class takes 4 hours a day. Plus 3 hours reviewing and 7 hours of sleep and maybe 2 hours of eating etc.. Leaves 8 hours for engaging in real conversations, on the weekends even more. How much do the few minutes in class matter compared to those 10 hours I am wondering. If I am someone who is not afraid of engaging, isn't a JLPT school not the better choice?

Have to be careful when it’s hot or rainy season 😭 I had my futon for 2 years and I would air it like monthly or 2-3 months. However, I had a horrible season of rain and I wasn’t airing it or folding it. BOOM a bunch of mold. 😭 The twin I had to throw away and I am debating to throw was my queen… 😭 but it is what it is. Trying to figure all this out. Plan to buy another futon one day.

@kintsugik
Жыл бұрын
Hi! Thank you! I did not work part-time to pay the bills. I relied on savings to help pay for everything. I am no longer in Japan as I opted to stay for 6 months only. If you have no basic foundation in Japanese, I would not recommend for you to get a part-time job to supplement because the language program is very intense. With that said, I had a classmate who did opt to work part-time to help pay for her bills and she started with no Japanese at all, but it took a toll on her and she was often tired. Also, she lived in the shared dorms so her rent was much cheaper than mine, and so her part-time job was able to cover her rent and food. Otherwise, there's no way a part-time job can cover the rent of the apartment. Also, grocery isn't all that cheap unless you plan on eating nothing but instant ramen everyday. So I do suggest you have some savings to fall back on.

I think that depends on the school you want to apply to. From my experience, when I applied to my school, there was a section on the application that asks for your study history, if you are in high school or college, etc. And if you haven't graduated yet, you have to send your academic transcript to the school. So it might have an affect, but it is best if you ask the school you want to go to for an accurate answer.
