SPEAKOUT

How did a 62-year-old mother
understand what a native speaker was saying in just 30 days?

Listening
Do you have any of these problems?

too fast to
keep up with the speed

I can pick up the words, but
I can't understand the whole thing

While I'm thinking in Japanese,
I'm moving on to the next

One of the English skills is
listening.
It is a skill that is tested in school exams, and if you want to speak English, it is a skill that you should definitely acquire.

A long time ago, there were educational materials on the market that said, ``You
can improve your listening skills just by listening,'' but in the end, their effectiveness was questionable.

From the point of view of brain science, only infants can benefit from such "listening", and the benefits diminish with age.

As adults, we cannot learn English by listening.

We Japanese
are given the opportunity to study English for 6 years from middle school to high school.
But why is my listening ability still low?

"Because you haven't showered with English?" " Because you 're not used
to native English ?" However, this is only superficial. If you want to train your listening skills, you need to focus on the more fundamental part. This is exactly what you need to improve your listening skills .

Voice of the monitor

I can do it even when I'm old

Mr. Ueshima (Early 80s)

I have always dreamed of speaking English, and I am continuing my studies without giving up.
Thanks to SPEAKUP, I think I've become able to read and write to some extent.

However, the most important thing is "English conversation". I wanted to overcome it, so I tried taking practice , but I couldn't understand what the teacher was saying, and I felt frustrated.

That's why I took this listening course, and to my surprise, I was able to understand sentences.

After taking the course, I tried practice again, and I was able to understand every word the teacher said and enjoyed the conversation.

Even an old me could do it!

I was able to converse with a foreigner

Mrs. Ochiai (Mid 60's)

I'm a cashier at a supermarket.
Foreign customers often come to visit us, but I hesitated to talk to them in English because I thought, "I can't understand what you're saying anyway."
I decided to take this course because I wanted to change myself.
As a result, it was a great answer!

I felt that the more I progressed through this course, the more words and sentences I could hear. At first, I could barely keep up with the "slow speaking speed", but now I am able to hear the "natural speed".
I am very surprised because the effect is amazing!

The other day, I had the courage to talk to a foreign customer. And I was able to understand what the other person was saying!
I really enjoyed taking the course!
