Ever tried working in a place where you barely understand a word? Spoiler: it’s chaotic, hilarious, and honestly one of the best confidence boosts you can get.In this episode I share my work experience in Japan — yes, I’m currently hustling in a sushi restaurant, armed with only basic Japanese and a lot of hand gestures. From ordering mix-ups to unintentional comedy, I explain why everyone should, at least once in their life, work in a country where you don’t fully understand the language.Because trust me: you’ll learn faster, laugh harder, and never forget it. 🍣😂📝 Show Notes🍣 My sushi restaurant survival guide💪 How working abroad makes you way more confident🎓 The fastest way to actually learn a language (hint: not Duolingo)😂 Everyday fails that somehow turn into wins🌍 Why everyone should try working somewhere they don’t fully understand the language✨ Honest, chaotic, and proof that lost-in-translation jobs are unforgettable.

🎒 Moral of the story: You don’t need perfect grammar to start your adventure. Sometimes, being lost in translation is exactly where the magic happens.
