Learn English with you Kids

First off, I wanna start off by letting everyone know, me and Adam have helped so many people in Japan improve their English and just conversation skills, giving them practice to speak.

And throughout that time, we have seen, of course, many adults, many but we have also seen a few kids, and parents bringing kids to different events that we've been a part of.

Sometimes I would notice that the kids would be better at English than the parents, and sometimes the other way around.

Mm.

Yeah.

But everyone, more often than none, I heard a lot of parents really talking about how, "Ah, I want my kid to speak English.

I want my child to do better and be ready for their English at school, because in the future it's important for them." So there is a pressure that they feel to teach their kids English.

I've heard it quite a bit, especially as a teacher-

Mm

...

English teacher in, uh, one of the Eikaiwa schools.

Yeah.

I felt like that was a major push for a lot of parents, um, to have their children go to these extra learning schools, and pay to have them being taught, you know?

And I feel like this kind of connects to having children learn something.

For elementary school children, th- this is, like, a time for them to, like, try things, be a part of, like, a soccer team-

Right

... ballet team, or doing swimming or something.

They get involved in some activity, and parents are very keen to, like, look for-

Mm

... a school or a group that can help them improve.

We see a lot of parents focusing on this time to be like, "Oh-

Yes

... my kid should," like you mentioned, "Let's go into this English academy.

Let's get them focused on English at a young age and stuff," which is really cool.

But how do the kids...
