Hi there!! I’ll be moving to Tokyo in a few weeks to start a university program. I’ve been connected with a student in my lab who has offered support and Japanese translation in my first couple weeks there.
They’re wanting an estimate / general times I may need them, to be able to fit it in their schedule. I don’t want to overburden or overuse their offer, so I’m wondering – what do you think are the most useful or necessary times Japanese is needed in the first couple weeks of the transition?
I’m thinking maybe ward registration ? Or setting up a bank account? Any advice is welcome!
I have limited Japanese so I will be getting a lot of use out of translation apps.. but I have lived in countries with language barriers before and generally feel comfortable navigating the difficulties of it!
Thank you 🙂
