Me (AFAB 19) and my gf (AMAB 20) are trying to move to Japan within 6-12 months. I am planning on getting my TEFL certificate theough my current college within this time and so is she.
We both have some college level experiences (sophmores) but we both may drop out (i certainly will but unsure about her.) we are saving and i have a head start already with around $900-$1000. Our plan is to both teach English in Japan, however i plan to teach at a preschool level as my Japanese isn't that great but it's also not bad either? (I know my hiragana just not well with kanji or Katakana but can easily learn katakana. I also know how to format sentences but don't have a vast vocabulary right now) My gf doesn't know much Japanese compared to me however but she is startig to study as of today.
We plan to marry before moving and I get a work visa while she gets a dependent visa. As far as housing im hoping to work with a company that provides housing for us.
Do english teaching companies still offer housing for their workers?
How much should we have saved if so?
What are my chances?
