Half x Half PodcastShizuka Anderson and Max D. Capo (and producer Kojimochi) talk about our English teaching experiences in Japan. It's a nice way to make money in Japan especially when you first move. You can work in "Eikawa", aka English conversation cafes (paying about 1000 yen+ per hour), or teach private lessons to individual students and earn anywhere from 2500 yen to 10,000 yen (about $100) an hour. But that doesn't come with weird stories of creepy students, and creepy teachers at the conversation cafes...
