A Bilingual Community Where English Becomes Part of Your Life

Since last month, he's been able to play Minecraft (on SSUP), and he looks forward to it every day, which encourages him to finish homework and other things quickly.

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

At his previous online English conversation class, he felt like he was being forced to say things and he almost never spoke up on his own initiative, but to see how much he has 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 him.

All the teachers are wonderful, and he is really looking forward to SSUP. He counts the days every day, saying "We don't have SSUP tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even three days after. And then the day after that, we have SSUP!"

She was starting to hate English. On the contrary, she wanted to play games so badly that she would sneak around the 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 she would have hated English if it was just regular online English, but every time she participates, she is allowed to play games, and it's amazing how powerful it is.

Recently, she's 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, they were saying things like, "Onnon (the character's name) has so few teeth," and "I wonder if the candy gave him cavities."

They often can't understand the teacher's English, so I have to explain things to them, but they understand the rules of the game. I hope they 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 she was nervous at first, the native teacher asked her fun questions and she gradually began to enjoy communicating and the game.

At one point, she seemed confused about what she was being asked, so we helped her out a little, but by the end of the trial lesson, she was 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.
