How to think in English

More and more of people from non-English speaking countries are learning the English language.  This is especially true for Asians like the Japanese, Chinese and South Koreans.  Learning English has been in high demand for more than a decade now.  The Philippines has a high number of Filipino online English tutors because of their proficiency, if not fluency, in English.  Most of them are contractors or employed by online English tutorial outfits.

As an online English tutor myself,  I have been teaching English to mostly Japanese and some  Brazilian students for more than three years now.  During my first year of teaching, I observed that students think in their own language on what they want to say before saying it in English.  For beginners or starters that would be alright because their limited English vocabulary makes it difficult for them.  On my second year of teaching, I have been telling my students to try their best to think in English because it is just like practicing how to speak it.  The video below shows basic words and how to pronounce them.

In my estimate, I have had around 500 students and most of them appreciated their improvement by thinking in  English.  It is not that easy for beginners because of lack of vocabulary and comprehension.  There is a process on how to think in English .  For those who are on the intermediate level in the English language, it will be quite easy to do and follow.  Please click HERE to learn more.  Thank you!

More Chinese than Japanese want to learn English

Interest in learning English in Asia has grown so much that there have been several online learning of English on the internet offered in the past decade  In the past decade, South Koreans flocked to the Philippines to learn English.  Most of them were young students that could finish college in the Philippines while learning English.  It was cheaper for them to get a degree and learn English at the same time.

In the case of Japan, those who are taking up English lessons are mostly above 20 years of age.  For that, they have to settle with learning English online as a high percentage of them are employed.  They save more money than attending schools.  Only a few high school and college students are taking English lessons online.  Kids in primary schools  are also starting to take online English but there are only very few of them Japanese students.

China is the country that suddenly had a high demand on learning English.  So many online tutorial platforms have cropped up to cater to them.  The surprising thing is that there are a lot of Chinese kids taking those lessons.  There are even some western people who have set up schools in China just to cope up with the demand.  One school is recruiting teachers from native English speaking countries and offering them relocation with hard to refuse benefits.

China currently has more of its citizens learning English online than Japanese.

オンラインで英語を学んでいる日本学生 - Japanese students online learning English

In the past, more than 3 years now, I have been teaching conversational English to Japanese students online.  More than 200 students have bookmarked me as tutor because they enjoyed how I teach them English.  One thing they really liked is how I make learning in a happy atmosphere.  The experience was with a previous online teaching platform where I would have had lessons with probably around 1,000 students or more.

It was not easy to teach English especially to those who had very little knowledge of the language.  I always tell my students not worry about their accent and should focus more on pronunciation.  Also, grammar should not be a concern for them because the most important thing is being able to communicate and express themselves in the right way.

Currently, I have moved on to a better online English platform where both students and tutors have more freedom and options in learning something and not just language.  I am sure many nationalities would be interested in this online English tutorial platform because they will get a BONUS for just signing up and get BIG DISCOUNTS for each lesson.
