This was so useful and well written, my brother is going through a similar process and was considering getting a summer job in Hawaii, while he finishes college in San Diego. Do you recommend a line of work in particular, taking into account that he also speaks fluent spanish?

LOL, I really like the “Second Japan” thing, but I live a bit far from the places Japanese people migrated to during Second World War, I’m actually considering moving to São Paulo (there were massive numbers of Japanese people moving there in the past).

Memrise is free. Grammar-wise you have Tae Kim’s guide. Reading materials on kanji koohi. Listening material on youtube and the previously mentioned site. Speaking “material” on Skype.
PLUS, you live in Brazil (aka the Second Japan) so if you look around you are bound to have actual Japanese people who can help you.

I find non-Japanese recruiters to be rude in general if you don’t have exactly what they’re looking for and you’re not local. I’m finding the question “Are you open to relocate?” to be more of a rhetorical question than a genuine one. As Allyson said, you can go on any job site and search for “japanese” to bypass recruiters.
