At first, she pointed out that English which is studied in Japanese school is not useful in America, because speaking and accent are not different from Japan. When she was still a student, she went to America for her business. Then she thought so. 

After going back to Japan, English teacher asked her “what is it?” Then she answered ‘It’s butcher’s’ But the teacher said to her ‘No, it is meat’ Unfortunately, the teacher did not know meat has many kind of word by the figure.

 Second, she realized that English are variety by countries. For example, when she went to Malaysia, she and her manager could not understand English spoken by Malaysian staff.

So, she suggests that we should speak English more active with courage even if you make a mistake about grammar or accent. .

I think that some Japanese English teacher are not good at teaching English. Especially almost all them can not speak English fluently. Therefore, if there are a returnee students in the class, the teachers are often afraid of the student’s English skill. Because the students are better than the teachers. 

And in my case, I have lived in Philippines since last July. I always talk with many Filipino/Filipina in English. Almost all them can speak English fluently and clearly. But others are not. However, we can understand each other even if our English is not good. 

The most important thing is ‘Do not be shy and try to communicate with other people in English frequently’ If we can, we can progress our English easier.
