Michi's English Journey

Hello, I'm from Japan. My channel is my experiences about learning English.

In 2015, When I was 47 years old, I joined Vipassana in Kyoto where I met a woman from the US. Other Japanese women communicated with her in English well, but I didn’t because I could not speak English at all. I felt left out so, I decided to start learning English.  

In 2017, I went to Baguio in the Philippines to learn English for a month a month. A month was not enough to improve my English,  but I got used to speaking English in that environment￼. 

In 2018, I visited Canada and traveled for a month. I stayed at a Canadian ranch as a Walkaway’s walker for two weeks. After that, I stayed at a hotel and communicated with other people from around the world. Visiting Canada gave me more confidence with my English and I had many great experiences there￼. 

In 2020, I was supposed to do volunteer work at the Tokyo Paralympics games in the main stadium, but instead I decided to start my YouTube channel￼.
