Life as an ALT Vlog

I've been researching and reading accounts of American ALTs since I first started studying Japanese in high school. Meaphe's V-log on youtube, although containing a lot of face time, is pretty useful at showing the scene without requiring reading and imagination, although some of it functions a little bit that way since a lot of the stories are just recounted orally. However, I say a job well done and commend her for putting herself out there like that.

Big Recruiting Companies

These are bigger: what that means, more structure and more organization for someone who doesn't have that much experience on their own in Japan yet, good support with getting documents in line for working visa sponsorship. However, it also means more competition.
