I want to save those struggling to learn English like I was
Actually, when I was a student, a teacher told me that I was the worst at English in my grade , so I
always had the idea that I was bad at studying English.
Despite that, when I graduated from university, I entered a large foreign- owned company and
continued to struggle because it was an environment where English was essential because there
were a lot of overseas training sessions and foreign employees.
I decided to devote myself to my English studies at that time, and that led to me getting a lot
more information, connections, and being able to do a much wider range of things than I had been
able to before. As a result of that, my opportunities, both professional and private, increased, and I
felt that my life became much richer. On top of that, when I looked at Japan from an overseas
perspective, I became certain that the biggest issue preventing Japanese people from contributing
on the world stage is language ability and from traveling around the world, I also learned and firmly
believe that if you can speak to someone in the same language, you can touch their hearts.
Then, I
thought that if I started my own company, that I wanted to make a product that could save a lot of
people who struggled with English like I did. After doing a lot of interviews with people studying
English, I heard many of them say I m not good at speaking, so when I talk to others, I get
embarrassed. I also had the same thought in the past and thought if only there was an English
conversation robot in my house . When I remembered that thought, I thought that in this day and
age where speech recognition and synthetic speech technology has advanced this far developing
an AI English conversation tool could become the best and final method to study English
conversation.
