Even after nearly 14 years living and teaching English here in Japan
, one feeling has unfortunately never changed.
The fact that everyone in Japan
“studies” English, but hardly anyone ever “uses” it.
High school students learn grammar
that even us “native” speakers don’t use, yet can't answer a simple greeting.
English is studied as a subject necessary for university entrance exams,
not as a tool for communication.
Our main goal at Fun Fun Club is to raise students with the ability and confidence
to express themselves in English and communicate with people of many nationalities,
both in Japanand overseas. To learn English as a tool, rather than a subject.
To discover the joy that comes from understanding and being understood.
I want each student to experience what I felt the first time
I was able to communicate with my friends in Japanese.
