CONCEPT

In an age where the Internet has become an indispensable social infrastructure, everything is being digitized, and AI is spreading rapidly, Europe and the United States are evolving rapidly. What will happen to Japan? Japan may have to go out into the world to survive.
When that happens, the ability to communicate in English will surely become an indispensable skill. It may already be the case. What will happen when today’s children start working? Not being able to speak English may be a major handicap. Speaking English is only possible after you have developed an ear for listening and understanding English. The best time to develop “English ears” is during the early years of childhood. Why don’t we work on English education for your child’s future? At Blue Dolphins, we have trained many children to speak English. Learning two languages at an early age will enhance their ability to communicate. Learning a language at an early age, when it is easy to learn and fun to learn, will broaden the range of options available to them in the future. Why is language absorption best at an early age? Words coming in through the ears stimulate the language center of the brain. The younger the child, the faster the absorption, so continuous exposure to a language environment increases the likelihood that the child will naturally acquire the language. Japanese people can speak Japanese because of the Japanese language environment. Even if a child is born in the U.S., he or she will not be able to speak English if the language he or she is exposed to is Japanese. On the other hand, a Japanese person can learn to speak English if he or she spends a lot of time in an English-speaking environment during childhood. Of course, in this case, the basic premise is “continuity.”

We believe that it is important for young children to develop ears that can hear English. In order to build this “English ear,” it is necessary to create neural pathways in the brain for “listening,” “understanding,” and “speaking. This neural circuit becomes stronger through repetition and continuity. This “English ear” will also be a very effective asset when the time comes for children to “study” English in the future.

The children’s “love” and “enjoyment” are essential for “continuity” to be achieved. At Blue Dolphins, we have a curriculum that values these feelings. If they like it, they can create an environment where they can listen, speak, read, and write in English while still living in Japan. Children’s own experience of the joy of English communication and the sense of accomplishment they gain from expressing themselves and understanding English are essential elements for learning English.

At Blue Dolphins, we provide a “fun” English environment where children can continue to attend from an early age, and we nurture children who can also speak English.
