Business English Conversation Course (Individual)
Many Japanese students want their English to be pointed out as much as possible, but if they point out too many small mistakes, they cannot speak fluently. English is the lingua franca of non-native speakers and speaking perfect English is not so much required.

positive mind set

Thank you very much for the fulfilling lesson! I was surprised by the fact that 80% of the English speaking population is non-native. I used to think that when I speak English, I need to be perfect like a test, but I was relieved to hear that I don't have to worry about small mistakes in global communication.
