It is about a young man named Tom who goes to Osaka, Japan to teach English at a small, but, failing English conversation school.
I lived and worked in Japan for 15 years. I spent my first 5 years working in a large, English conversation school, eikaiwa (英会話) in Japanese.
"English Teachers" does a fantastic job making a comedy that is very realistic. The characters you see in the series are very muck like the ones you would see in Japan. The lazy, veteran teacher; the teacher who lives the Japanese culture, the strict-unhappy-teacher who makes students cry, etc.
There are 8 episodes, about 5 to 10 minutes each, in the series. The writers did an exceptional job telling their story in such a short time. The acting isn't very good, but, it is a funny, low-budget, series.
