英語は身に着けるべきスキル

今まで仕事上、日本国内はもちろん様々な国に出向き、いろんな国籍の方々とお会いした事のあるLucyさんですが英語でのコミュニケーションがご自身にとっても、プロスポーツ選手にとっても、とても重要であると感じたそうです。

スポーツをするにも英語はコミュニケーションのツールとして学ぶべき・身に着けるべきスキルだと思いますとLucyさん。スポーツと長年お付き合いのあるLucyさんだからこそ英会話はどんなスポーツをするのにも重要!年齢を重ねても英語を話せる事にはメリットしかない!と説得力のあるご意見でした。どんなに優秀なプレーヤーでも英語が話せるか話せないかでは視野が全然違います。

Lucy travels to various countries and she also travels to different part of Japan. While traveling she meets people from different countries, thus, she has deeply realized that English is really important to communicate with people from different nations and also to enhance her career as an interpreter.

“Indeed, speaking English will certainly help anyone to communicate with people from countries all over the world,” said Lucy. She added, “As the world has been globalized, whether we travel, do businesses, or communicate with others on social media, one being able to speak English will definitely bring a sort of inner confident.

“As English is very important for any sports, I think it’s a skill one should really acquire.”, said Lucy. It helps athletes to communicate with other athletes while practicing and playing sports. Once we learn English, it will remain with us lifetime.”, said Lucy who has been associated with the sports industry for so many years. No matter how good a player can speak English or not, the perspective is completely different.

息子を英会話に通わせていて
本当によかった

実はLucyさん二児の母でもありますがお子様と英語に関して対立があったようで、息子さんが幼少期の時、英語が嫌いで英会話スクールに行くのを嫌がったそうですが・・・。現在息子さんは三菱でエンジニアリングとして各国を飛び回っているそうです。息子さんがLucyさんに「英会話スクールに通わせてくれて有難う!今の自分があるのは英会話スクールに通わせてくれたお母さんのお陰」と感謝の言葉を述べられたそうです。その時Lucyさんはお子さんを英会話にずっと通わせていて本当によかった。彼の将来にとって必ず英語は身になる、武器になるとずっと信じていたそうです。

Lucy is a mother of two children, and several times she had an argument with her son regarding learning English while he was an elementary school student. At that time, he didn’t like going to English language school at all. But now, her son works at Mitsubishi and travels around the world as an engineer. Finally, he realized the importance of speaking English and expressed his gratitude towards her mom for putting him into an English language school. His son now strongly believes that English will work as a tool to communicate and to enhance his career.
