For me personally, the moment came when I discovered the power of speaking English Welcome, welcome back to my channel One thing that I realized after spending one year in Sydney I used to think like this Before I become fluent in English, things that I can do I can travel by myself I can book a restaurant I can have a small talk with anyone I can make a lot of friends from all around the world And when I'm in Japan, if I get to ask by a foreign tourist If they don't know which way to go I can go like, oh just go straight and turn right And your destination is on your left Oh, I really want to do this I actually used to think like this Because these are the things that I can easily come up with As things that I can do with fluent English, you know But living a life in Australia for one year Oh my gosh, I have so many things that I want to tell you But first of all, I think this is what other people are already like Saying a lot in the social media But I just want to repeat If you become fluent in English You can get more information from across the world So I know a lot of you guys might be thinking Pretty much functional advantages of speaking English But I think there are deeper, more transformative benefits That English can bring into your life I think this is very important The thing is that you can get things much faster If you can speak English Doesn't really matter if you're using English with your business or not When you search for something If you can read and write English You can google with Japanese and English, right?

This is what I used to do when I was in middle school Because I could read and write I couldn't really speak at a time But because I was good at taking tests, English tests I could read, I could write So, you know, I could type any English sentences Whatever I want and googled it And, you know, a lot of like articles and websites came up And I could understand what they were saying But I couldn't speak And it costed me a lot of time To, you know, read everything and understand But little by little My listening skill and my speaking skill They gradually started to improve And because of that, I'll tell you something When I do some research at this English level I don't really type I don't really read I just speak Doing different things If I want to search something I just like played on the chat to EPT Hello, could you tell me something about this and this and this?

And then the chat to EPT answers my questions straight away But I don't really read I don't read anymore While I'm doing different tasks I just listen to what she's saying Now I want to ask you something different and blah, blah, blah And I'm actually having a conversation with AI That's much faster because you don't have to type You can just ask her Like, do you know this?

Can you list up these things, you know, blah, blah, blah I just ask her She just gives me a lot of answers in details And I was just listening to it Okay, okay, thank you, thank you Okay, thank you so much That's it You know, multitasking This is so useful Yeah, of course, you can do this in Japanese However, the information that you can get in Japanese Is often not up to date You know what I mean?

And the language itself The AI quality Everything is not The latest version It's not the latest version Of course, sometimes if I If it is really hard for me to explain things in English I use Japanese instead And I speak in Japanese But the quality of the AI The answer How they answer It's kind of not as perfect as they do in English If I do this in Japanese Maybe this is not really a good idea It's better to type It's better to read the article But if I do this in English It's just perfect I don't have any trouble with having conversation with AI So this is the one thing Not only being able to read and write But if you become fluent in English If you could understand English by listening And if you can express what you think Your thoughts, your opinions In speaking You can cut out a lot of unnecessary time When you read and when you write English So this is one thing that I realized After acquiring better English skill This is the things that I feel very beneficial This is the merit that you can get If you learn English more If you become more fluent in English If you write English If you read English It takes time And you can only focus on the things that you're working on But if you can listen to it If you can speak English While you're doing different tasks You can just ask AI What is this?

What is that?

Blah blah blah And then the AI would answer Oh this is this This is this This is the website that you are looking for And thank you so much That's it Done Fast Okay Very fast You don't even have to wait until The information will be translated into Japanese You know I remember that the time There was a one movie That I was desperate to watch I really wanted to watch the movie However, I was only available in like specific Like certain countries And Japan wasn't on the list That was all in English And I had to wait until The movie was translated into Japanese Now I think it's published in Japanese as well And you know It's available in Netflix and wherever But I just lost interest I don't want to watch it anymore You know So There's always a delay If you only understand Japanese And if you don't know English It's always delayed Which means You cannot get the up-to-date information You don't have the access to brand new Latest information Because in this modern time To get access to the latest information is crucial So I think this is one huge benefit Huge advantage that you can get If you become fluent in English I'm not saying I'm fluent in English I'm not really saying I'm perfectly fluent in English I am not I'm still learning However Compared to my past version of myself I became a lot more fluent Like you know The difference of what I can see right now And what I can do with my English Is amazing It's incredible I just want you to experience exactly the same thing As I'm feeling As I'm seeing As I'm experiencing You can change your perspective You can change the things that you do You can change your environment You can do anything with your English English is amazing I just can't tell you enough And one more thing It starts to become darker and darker I feel like I need more light What do you think?

Are you okay?

Are you with me?

Okay I'll just keep going like this I'm sorry about the lighting I just wanted to make this video more professional But I feel like I failed Anyway One more thing One more story that I want to tell you This is my personal anecdote Okay Do you know this book?

Rich Dad and Poor Dad Amazing amazing book I really loved it I read this book when I was 20 And this is part of the reason why I started to have my own business When I was 20 Of course I was like thinking Oh I'll have to do a job hunting Which company am I interested in?

And I searched on the internet Which field I want to work for And I was doing some research on like which career I want to go This is about personal finance and investing This book is talking about money, right?

And after I read this book I realized I didn't want to become an employee If you read this book You can understand I just highly recommend you to read this book And you'll know what I mean You know what I'm aiming at Okay But anyway I just read this book in Japanese when I was 20 And that book was written by Robert Kiyosaki And I knew his name I remember his name And while I was in Sydney I was just scrolling Instagram stories As usual As always And sometimes, you know Some advertisements come up to your Instagram stories, you know And I just found that Robert Kiyosaki is coming to Sydney It's like Robert Kiyosaki The author of the book My favorite, favorite finance book Rich Dad and Poor Dad Oh my gosh He's coming to Sydney?

I just jumped to the different link And then, you know I was like looking at his website And it says he's going to give us a lecture in Sydney And I'm living in Sydney Oh my gosh I have to go I feel like I have to go So I straight after I saw the advertisement I signed up and then decided to go It was about like only $80 $80 to $100 It wasn't that expensive So I could go On that day of Robert Kiyosaki's like face-to-face lecture Of course, everything was English Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you I could understand only 70% of what he was saying Because he was talking about money and finance and business My first company, Toronto Stock Exchange I raised $27 million, took the king public We struck gold in China Guess what those Chinese did?

It was a bit difficult for me That was a live lecture, you know There is no script There's no visual aid He was like, he was like standing on a stage And he was talking about tax or like the business Or how to, how to expand your business He gave us some chance to kind of like getting Interacted with other attendees And I asked the person who was sitting right next to me I asked him like, hi, what brought you here today?

Why did you come here?

He told me, oh, I work for a company I work for an IT company I do some investment And then he also told me that That he doesn't have to work anymore But purely for his mental health Doing nothing Even though he has plenty of money Doing nothing isn't good for his health So he says like, that's why I'm working I don't have to earn much money Because I have enough And that's why I'm doing investment However, having amazing people around me And you know, working on a project with them It feels so good So that's why he's working Okay, he's not looking for money He's just like purely enjoying what he's doing I thought it's amazing But the things that I want to tell you in this video Is not about my experience of like By Robert Kiyosaki It's not What I want to tell you here is that If you can understand English You can get inspired by his real word Not translated, okay Not translated His own word That was incredibly different When I read books When I watch some videos Which was translated into my language Which is Japanese And when I listen to videos When I read books When I take a lesson When I take a lecture in English You know, he is a famous thinker He is very very famous in the business field And I could understand what he's saying in English Not translated There's no one in between He, his word and me There's nothing in between There's no translation There's no translators in between I think it's impressive to get better understanding Purely from his word I got inspired so much Human voice has a great power When you read books And when you take a lecture It makes a lot of difference, you know Being able to understand English You can actually get inspired by famous people Around the world Directly by yourself That's amazing I just thought Oh my gosh Living in Sydney One of the most famous cities in the world A lot of famous people visit Sydney Quite often But those kind of things never happen in Japan I wouldn't say it's never happening in Japan But there are fewer opportunities Definitely Because if it is in Sydney I expected that a lot of people would come Because there's no language barrier Everyone can understand English And he's giving a lecture in English But what if he's going to give us a lecture in Japan Let's say he's going to give us a lecture all in English I don't think many people will come Because first of all There's a language barrier Second of all They don't really know who he is He's a worldwide famous person in the business field But when I ask people in Japan Do you know this book?

Do you know this person?

Most of the time they say Ah I'm not sure I know this book It's very famous But I don't know who wrote this I don't even know who he is But if I went to Sydney and asked people Do you know him?

Do you know this book?

They said Oh of course I know him He's very famous You know Worldwide famous people They're underrated in Japan Because all the time they're speaking English If you don't know English We can understand what they're saying So they never get famous in Japan However what they're saying What they're doing is amazing I want you to just I just want you to see what they're doing They're such an inspirational I think it's amazing to get to know What the other people are saying in the worldwide In the global scale Not in the nationwide This is the second story that I wanted to share If you could understand English If you could speak English You can get more opportunity to get inspired By worldwide famous people I would say Not only Japanese But people from all around the world There are so many role models Every time I take a lesson from those people Who's speaking English I get inspired Understanding different languages Both your mother tongue and English Actually open up more opportunity for sure And I just want you to understand How beneficial it would be A lot of people say Oh if I can speak English I can travel the world Without any worries Without any anxiety I can have a lot of fun out there Or living in Japan A lot of foreigners They get lost you know Because stations in Tokyo is quite complicated I feel them so much Like which is the Yamanote line Which is the line to go to Ginza They often get lost They often ask Japanese people Excuse me can you speak English?

Do you know how to get there?

And if you can't speak English You can't understand what people say You feel so sorry You feel guilty But that's not only that Being able to speak English is amazing And not only that Yes of course you can travel Without any anxiety Yes of course you can communicate with other people From across the world Yes you can make a lot of friends With different backgrounds Different countries That's amazing But other than that You can get access to Any information around the world You can get inspired by people Not only Japanese people But people from all around the world And you would see like Oh my gosh I can do anything Because these people are doing like this These people like doing like this Surely you will have an open-minded And you can see a huge huge world And then the content that you have In your social media would also change I have several friends from Sydney We still keep in touch And sometimes they send me a video They send me some videos That they think they're very funny Through TikTok channels or Instagram reels And when I watch those videos That's horrelious Very entertaining We sometimes call and talk about like How are you?

How's your life?

How have you been?

We talk about our daily life And hearing what's going on in other countries For example, my friends are living in Switzerland And my other friends are living in Italy Every time I have a phone call with them They often tell me about themselves Their life stories That are actually always beyond my expectations But I think it's normal It's not normal for them, right?

And what they think is normal It's not normal for me So every time we talk It's full of new discoveries And we laugh a lot But anyway, knowing English is so useful Amazing I really hope that this video kind of like Inspired you to study English even harder Learning English is such a long, long journey But alongside, you would also understand How amazing it is How great for it is to be able to speak English It would definitely open up more opportunities for you And it's just great Such a game changer My abroad experience last year That was the best memory I've ever had in my entire life I just wanted to share with you guys my personal stories And how much I like English So thank you so much for watching today I'm sorry for the lighting It's kind of like very dark But I'll try to fix it Maybe I have to buy a new set of lights For this filming or whatever But anyway, I will see you in the next video I will probably do this in Japanese Or English Or let me know what you think about this video And I'm always happy to answer all the questions of you guys Thank you so much for watching And I will see you in the next video Bye, love you
