Study English
Japanese Version

@@@"As you have lived in America for five years, your English must be very good. Is there any good method to master English? If any, please teach me it." After returning to Japan, many people have asked me this question. Although‡Tdon't think it is their concern whether I am good at English, mastering English seems to be nation-wide concern. And also those people who have questioned me intend to pursue an easy way to master@English without any hardship. So I will answer that question.
@@" There is no such a method."
Mastering a foreign language is a colossal task, and it is obvious from our experience in learning English at middle school, high school, college, and yet being far from mastering it.
@@"But it is because the method was bad."
No, it is not. However excellent the methods might be, acquisition of a language requires hard training and if you stop training, you will begin forgetting the words you have once acquired.
@@However, suppose you made constant efforts to study, and then, is there any good method to help you learn?
@@I can answer it, " Yes, there is."
@@"What is the method?"
@@My recommended method is recitation. If you memorize and recite the whole sentences of an English conversation book that you have at your hand, you don't need to lose your bearing at airport, hotel, and department store in America.
@@The current English education in Japan is focused on conversation rather than on writing or reading. We have to reconsider the efficiency of recitation, which we ever valued.
@@During my stay in America, I have met few American who are good at foreign languages. English is the native tongue to them, and they believe that English might be able to be accepted around the world.
@@My best friend, Scott Stuwart, having experience of teaching English in Japan for six years and his wife being Japanese woman, one day asked me, "Is there any good method to master Japanese?"
@@"You surprise me! How did you master English?"
