Looking to make a major life change? - Lemmy.World

  • It’s in bumfuck nowhere
  • I don’t speak Japanese
  • Building it up to a modern living standard will be expensive
  • I’d have to move to Japan

Nothing that a translation app on your phone can't fix.
I rarely talk to the cashier when I go shopping, so I highly doubt they’d turn up their nose at my money just because I’m incapable of making smalltalk.
You sound like someone who never went outside of their home country.

I've been to several countries.

Translation apps are not perfect, but they can get you by in a pinch.

This is very true, but imagine living ‘in a pinch’ for months/years before you get a grasp on the language.
