Voices from Our English Speakers
I joined HelloWorld’s program because I wanted to explore Japan and to get more connections outside of university! I love how the program turns into a win-win situation both for Japanese students and for myself!
Joining as ES in HelloWorld is a great experience. Not only for making new friends to other ES, but also improving my English. I’m very proud to introduce my country. I learn Japanese culture and language from students. Thank you for letting me joining HelloWorld 😊
I love learning more about the Japanese culture for myself and my family. Teaching Japanese students about the foreigners living in Japan and the fun of communicating in English through Machi-Que has become a passion!
I like joining the program because I enjoy communicating with Japanese students! I get to talk about my country and culture to them. Since I work as an animator as a profession, I work from home, so joining the program also helps me to socialize with other English Speakers!
