Have any of the users on this site ever teach English in Japan? If so how could I go about looking for work as an English teacher in Japan?

One day I was running a bit late for school. As I came rushing down the stairs at the station I noticed the train already on the platform with the doors open. I rushed in just as they closed.

“That's odd.” I thought, “The train is nowhere near as crowded as usual.”

As we pulled out a couple of stations later I noticed the local Daiei (department store). “That's odd.” I thought, “Daiei looks further away than usual.”

I spent time about 15 mins everyday trying to study Hiragana and have no memory of it what so ever,it went through one ear and I guess I'm too frustrated to go back and try again, I really hate giving up on things I'd really like to learn. I'd like advice on how to learn a language fluently

Just wanted to say Happy New Year!

こんにちは、私初心者なので、よろしくお願いします！

Day: 5
Status: Katakana Completed (Barely! :/ )
Happy: About starting the Fast 100 Grammar points of TJP. They look bite-sized and easy to remember. :D But again, there are 100 of them. So, that's not encouraging.
Worried: About not starting the Genki book. Now that the Kanas are done, I should prolly start soon.
Now: Reading Kid's Book written in Hiragana. [I am painfully slow. It takes me about two or three seconds (sometimes more) to identify each and every letters. :( ]

Day: 3
Status: Hiragana Completed (Need to Revise though)
Next Train: Katakana Express
Complaints: I still have Katakana to learn! :(
Excited: About the Genki book I got! :D
Now: Trying to identify Hiragana letters in the inter-web.

:D Right so I've mastered hiragana and I'm working on Katakana. Now that I can recognize and read (phonetically) hiragana, I still do have any vocabulary to speak of. So what's next? vocabulary lists or studying kanji or both?

any ideas?
