For real, I'm in Japan right now. I didn't know how to explain that I was Asian American. So I said I was my ethnicity and American. And the other person went "Ahhh, hafu!" Oh well, I tried.

ill never go to a japanese school because imagine a teacher shouting "damn hes a weeb too" on your first day 😭

Starting as a 21 year-old teacher at a Tokyo high school, it took a while to convince my classes that I wasn't an exchange student 😂

The translation method works until another person who knows both languages walks in and is like wtf 😂

[toshi-chi]

Sora taught me that working as an English teacher is the most anime-like job in Japan

[alicevioleta]

i can definitely tell sora was serious about being a teacher based on how he tears apart english lessons on stream. you don't have that kind of knowledge if you did a half ass job.

When you want to tell the teacher a student is using their phone in class, can't find the teacher, then realize you ARE the teacher relates to me so much.

I’m glad Sora is embracing his Asian American heritage

[suohashi]

Being an English Teacher is the most exciting job one can have from the sheer amount of bullshit you'll hear or see happen😭

Sora’s upload schedule goes crazy recently

As a mix race Asian Aussie I've had so many similar experiences while teaching in Japan. Many students thought English isn't my native tongue and question me about why I don't look like the "typical" English teacher, they also asked me many strange questions including this question a few times "English is from America. How come you speak English and not Australian?" as well as "you are foreigner. Why don't you look like one, with blue eyes and blonde hair, are you really a foreigner?"

Please never stop making these videos. It’s literally the best entertainment I can get nowadays.

[yellowronos]

I need sora to be my english teacher in school and tell him “you’re definitely american”

[nivea]

He tells how tough to be an English teacher but it actually fascinates me a lot

[naomisilverfang]

I'm a Korean-American and I'd heard stories about others like me teaching english in Korea who were seen as inferior english teachers because of the racism of parents in private schools. Is it sometimes like that in Japanese private schools too?

[kaivukaivu]

I've been teaching in Japan for a few years now, and I remind my students just about every week that I'm actually American and not Japanese. Every year at some point I ask them where I'm from and some of them still say "Japan" 🤦‍♀

[teshyatan]

It's really based on Sora's experience! A story to live by!

[riversideview]

I love the way you narrate the story, it's so good and also hilarious too. Amazing

[schinism]

I'm an Asian American English teacher in Japan, and the students and teachers often think I'm from Asia, and when I tell them I'm from America, their brains seem to crash. Also, I get the feeling that they expect me to speak Japanese fluently, or at least better than a non-Asian English teacher.

bruh how could you reject sora's english classes i'd imagine them to be fun
