Covers moving to Japan through the lens of language and work — from N4 level to the first steps of settling in. Looks at relocation not as a visa question in isolation, but as a chain linking Japanese proficiency, a viable profession, and the chance to actually stay. Readers get a clear sense of what language level IT jobs really require, how enrolling in a language school differs from moving without one, and what a Placement Test at a Japanese language school involves. It also tracks forecasts of in-demand professions for the coming years and the process of applying for long-term study if you're not based in Russia. It explains the everyday friction newcomers face in Japan and how locals tend to treat outsiders — context that shapes career plans as much as paperwork does. Grammar drills and textbook walkthroughs are left out; language here matters only as a tool for getting there and staying.
