So, why don’t Japanese people have the opportunity to speak English?
If you are Japanese and you felt like going to another website as soon as you didn’t see any Japanese written here…. that’s why.
The biggest block to improving English speaking and listening ability for many Japanese people is looking for ways to learn English but in Japanese.
After years of doing that, both in and outside of school, all that’s left now is to learn English in English as best you can and in real life situations.
If you have ever overlooked reading something in English to read it in Japanese instead… if you have ever avoided a situation that involved only English because it was too scary, you have seen what the real problem is.
You are not shy and your English is not too poor. You just prefer to read, speak and listen to Japanese and that’s fine.
But if you are like my friend in the above video… If you are ready to join the English speaking world, even if your English is broken, then you are welcome to join the Real English Party.
You don’t have to be perfect, no one is. You just have to put yourself in those same situations as those who study abroad must painstakingly face, only in a way that is just as fun and satisfying as you are willing to make it.
