English language is one of the most popular language being used to communicate and break barriers in a number of countries. With my adequate knowledge and the willingness to learn more about it, we can hand in hand share and learn the mystic of the English language.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Are You an Extrovert, an Introvert — Or an 'Otrovert'?" that you kindly selected on 7 Oct. 2025.
It was not until I read the article that I realised the new word 'Otrovert'.
As I explained during the lesson, Japanese people tend to be less 'Otrovert' because they often conform to social expectations.
Meanwhile, I suppose that some of the younger Japanese generation are willing to be 'Otrovert' because they value their personal lives more than work.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful conversation, as always on 2 Oct. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I can become a home tutor in our home to teach English to my kids.
In general, hiring a home tutor costs a lot. However, I can save much money if I play a role of home tutor.
I'm going to take advantage of my skills and abilities, even if I'm home.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "The Gen Z Stare: Why Young Workers Don't Smile" that you kindly selected on 30 Sep. 2025.
I agree with the idea that working or studying from home too much might cause a decrease in facial expression, especially among younger generations.
Meanwhile, there are some people who rarely express their emotions. I assume the reason is because of their individual characteristics.
However, schools and companies should teach the importance of reciprocal facial expression, such as smiling, to help people communicate better.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "What is 'Job Hugging' and Is It Bad for Business?" that you kindly selected on 25 Sep. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, "Job Hugging" is a mindset among senior Japanese employees.
In the past, the employees were hired by permanent employment system that is based on traditional Japanese compnaies.
However, the company's policy has been getting obsolete recently.
I suppose today's young workers would not like to follow the "job hugging" trend.
I'm against the idea, because I believe that lazy employees and low performers will be attributed to "job hopping."
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Tokyo Ranked Best City in the World for a 'Workation'" that you kindly selected on 12 Sep. 2025.
I was honored as one of Tokyo's citizens to be chosen for the best workation city in the world.
However, the cost of living is quite high, so I suspect that Tokyo is not worth it if you live there permanently.
As I mentioned in the lesson, our company provides Wokation to employees, but they reduced the number of working from home.
For that reason, I won't use the Workation.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful conversation, as always on 29 Aug. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan encourages people over 40 years old to get regular eye exams, especially glaucoma screenings.
My eyes have not developed glaucoma symptoms, but I take eyedrops to reduce ocular pressure to prevent glaucoma.
In general, people who have miopia are more likely to have other eye problems, not only glaucoma but retinal detachment, macular degeneration, etc.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Moving to a Walkable City Better for Health" that you kindly selected on 27 Aug. 2025.
There is a thesis that indicates living in an urban area is healthier than living in a rural area.
The reason is that living in a rural area requires having a vehicle, so there are fewer opportunities to walk.
Meanwhile, urban area, such as Tokyo metropolitan area has advanced public transporation systems, so residents are less likely to own vehicles. Consequently, the step count is higher in urban areas than in rural areas.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "1,000 New 7-Eleven Stores Coming to Japan" that you kindly selected on 19 Aug. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I don't like the convenience store giant 7-Eleven for the following reasons:
1) Small portion size in its lunch box despite high price
The 7-Eleven lunch box uses a bumpy plastic design to hide its small capacity.
2) Exploitative franchise system
The 7-Eleven owners are likely to owe debts under the franchise system, including not only royalty fees but also additional expenses.
e.g., Unsold lunch boxes must be disposed of by the owner at their expense.
3) Dominant shop opening scheme
The 7-Eleven stores open in a certain area, for example, with new ones opening just 100–200 meters from each other.
Therefore, although the parent company can expect more profit, the profits of each 7-Eleven owner must be divided.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "'Free-Range Parenting' — Is It Good for Kids?" that you kindly selected on 12 Aug. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I'm partially in agreement with the method of Free-Range Parenting.
In my opinion, free-range parenting is valid for younger children under 10 years old.
Once children reach the age of 10, parents should adopt ordinary and conventional methods for their children.
In some cases, disciplinary parenting may be appropriate.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
