Article: Japanese Man Learns English for Tokyo Olympics

Tracy R.

Hello Everyone!

I found this article while browsing the other day and thought I'd share it with you. It's a great way to practice your English while reading about something that might feel very close to your own experiences.

This young man taught himself English so that he could help tourists and foreigners during the 2020 olympics. But now that they've been postponed, and because of COVID-19, he doesn't have opportunities to practice anymore! How many of you have experienced the same thing? I know many of you were practicing English so you could volunteer to help at the 2020 Olympics. Are you still studying for that? Hopefully you and the taxi driver in the article will have a lot of opportunities to use English again in the near future! 

Have a great day~
