My company encourages its employees to learn English. My company is one of the representative companies in Japan and some of the employees are required to pick up English to communicate with international customers. My company tied a corporate contract with RareJob, which is an online English education company based in the Philippines, and started offering opportunities to speak English to their employees. 50% of the lesson fee is covered by the company. Additionally, the good attendance and/or the improvement of the TOEIC score being acknowledged, even employees' own expense is supposed to be refunded. All the tutors are from the Philippines and we talk concerning the offered topics for 25 minutes per lesson. The time difference is only an hour between Japan and the Philippines. I was amazed that the founder of RareJob had hit on a good idea and I'm grateful for my company's generosity.
I started the lesson on RareJob on March 1st. The lesson continues until the end of the August for six months. What will become of my English speaking skills?
