A Bilingual Community Where English Becomes Part of Your Life

Since last month, I've been able to play Minecraft (on SSUP), and I'm excited to play it every day, which encourages me to finish my homework and other things quickly.

I am also amazed by the English I sometimes hear children speak.

At the online English lessons I attended previously, I felt like I was being forced to say things and I almost never spoke up on my own initiative, but to see how much I have changed in such a short amount of time has made me realize the power of a compatible teacher, classmates, games, and online communication systems.

I felt that the teachers were taking the level into consideration so that the English lessons wouldn't get boring.

Thank you all so much for being patient and listening to me.

All the teachers are wonderful, and he is really looking forward to SSUP. He counts the days every day, saying "tomorrow is a day, the day after tomorrow is not, three days from now is not a day, and the next day is a day!" (laughs)

I was starting to hate English. On the contrary, I wanted to play games so badly that I would sneak around my parents and say things like "I want to play games," or "I want to buy a game," and I was getting sick of it.

It's just "playing games in English"! I think I would have hated English if it was just regular online English, but every time I participate, I'm allowed to play games, and it's amazing how powerful it is.

Recently, I've become less averse to English, and my daughter has also started trying to speak English at home, so I'm most pleased that her dislike of English has been dispelled.

The children are not very good at English, but since the activities are mainly games, they are able to enjoy themselves.

Even after class, the children were saying things like, "Onnon (the character's name) has so few teeth," and "I wonder if the candy gave him cavities."

I often can't understand the teacher's English, so I have to explain things to him, but he understands the rules of the game. I hope he can continue to have fun while learning English.

Two children participated, a boy in the second grade of elementary school and a girl in the second year of kindergarten. They both enjoyed the games and had a great time.

The other day, he found a screen of a game he played on "Let's Play Games" on TV or the Internet, and happily told me, "I found the game we played back then!"

My 5-year-old daughter, who has recently become interested in English, participated in the class.

Although I was nervous at first, the native teacher asked me fun questions and I gradually began to enjoy communicating with him and playing the game.

At one point, their child seemed confused about what they were being asked, so their parents helped them out a little, but by the end of the trial lesson, they were still engrossed in the lesson, despite making mistakes.

It felt like playing with a native teacher. I thought it was a very attractive program because it allowed the children to have positive contact with English.
