🌱 How to Study English the Most Effective Way

(with a little Japanese to help)

1. Study small, but every day.

Ten minutes a day is better than two hours on Sunday. Trust me.
「毎日少しずつ勉強する方が効果があります。」

2. Use English you actually need.

If you want to travel, practice airport English.
If you want international friends, practice casual conversation.
「自分の生活に必要な英語を優先する。」

3. Speak out loud.

Even if it feels silly. Even if you’re alone in your room. Speak.
「声に出すことが大切。」

4. Make mistakes on purpose.

Seriously. Try it. It removes fear.
「間違えても大丈夫、成長のサインです。」

5. Mix English and Japanese when needed.

It’s totally fine to say:
“I forgot the word… えっと… the thing you use to open bottles?”
It’s communication. That’s what matters.

💬 How to Ask for Help in English

(Japanese support included)

Here are simple, natural ways:

• “Sorry, could you say that again?”
  　もう一度言ってくれますか？

• “I didn’t understand that part.”
  　その部分が分かりませんでした。

• “Can you explain it in an easier way?”
  　もっと簡単に説明してくれますか？

• “What does ___ mean?”
  　「___」はどういう意味ですか？

• “I understand the words, but not the meaning.”
  　単語は分かるけど、意味が分かりません。

🎭 Role Play — Asking for Help

A = Seina (student)
B = Teacher

A: Um… sorry B-sensei, can I ask something?
（すみません、質問してもいいですか？）

B: Of course! What’s up?

A: I didn’t understand the last sentence… the part about “past continuous”?
（最後の文が分かりません。特に “past continuous” の部分。）

B: Ah, no problem. I can explain it again—slowly this time.

A: Thank you. And… if I don’t understand again, can I ask again?

B: Please do. Ask as many times as you want. That’s how you learn.

❓ How to Tell the Teacher You Don’t Understand

Here are friendly, natural phrases:

• “I’m not sure I got that.”
  　ちょっと分からなかったです。

• “I got lost after this part…”
  　この部分の後、迷いました。

• “Could you give me another example?”
  　他の例をください。

• “I think I need more practice with this.”
  　この部分はもっと練習が必要だと思います。

• “Can we slow down a little?”
  　ゆっくり話してくれますか？

These are soft, polite, and very natural in real conversation.

🧑‍🏫 Lesson Plan — How to Introduce Yourself in English

(Casual + Formal)

✨ CASUAL Self-Introduction

Use this with friends, classmates, or someone your age.

Structure (simple):

1. Name

2. Where you’re from

3. What you do

4. One simple personal detail

Example (English + a bit of Japanese):

“Hey, I’m Seina. I’m from Tokyo. I work at a small café near Shibuya. I love watching English dramas—even though I only understand, like… half of it.”
「こんにちは、セイナです。東京出身です。渋谷の近くのカフェで働いています。英語のドラマを見るのが好きです。」

Natural. Light. Friendly.

🏢 FORMAL Self-Introduction

Use this at business meetings, interviews, presentations, or with someone older.

Structure:

1. Greeting

2. Full name

3. Job or role

4. Experience or specialty

5. Purpose or intention

Example:

“Good afternoon. My name is Seina Morita. I work as a sales coordinator at a logistics company in Tokyo. I’ve been in this field for about five years. I’m looking forward to working with all of you today.”
「こんにちは。森田セイナと申します。東京の物流会社でセールスコーディネーターとして働いています。この業界は約5年です。本日はどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。」

Clear. Professional. Confident.

☕ Final Thoughts

Learning English doesn’t need to feel like climbing a mountain. It can be slow, messy, emotional, and still completely successful. Take breaks. Laugh at your mistakes. Let your English be imperfect, warm, and human—just like you.

And if you need help, ask. That’s the biggest difference between students who improve and students who stay stuck.
