What do you struggle with the most in regards to speaking American English with native English speakers? Is it coming up with words to say? Is it saying enough so you don't sound limited or be able to give enough variety in your responses so you don't sound repetitive? Is it phrasal verbs? Do you use them? Do you understand them? Do you know how many there are? What about your confidence? Do you second guess yourself when you speak English? Do you have a lot of 'ums' and 'uhs' when you speak American English? Do you repeat words and phrases? Do you have long pauses in between your words and phrases? Do you translate in your head before you say it? Do you depend on translating? Do you say the bare minimum which is only the few things you know how to say but if someone asks you to 'say more.' you'd have difficulty? Are you not really sure where you struggle? Have you ever had someone from the United States... a tutor or teacher really judge your speaking and give you feedback?

Essential English for Sports Therapy & Mobility Assessments 🏋️‍♂️🦴 Treating international clients or tourists in English? Here is a quick cheat sheet for conducting mobility checks and setting up treatments: 🔹 Intake: "Where do you feel the sharpest restriction when you rotate your shoulder?" 🔹 Active ROM: "I want you to raise your arm as far as comfortable without compensating with your lower back." 🔹 Manual Modalities (Tok Sen / Cupping): "We use acoustic resonance / suction to decompress deep fascial layers." 🔹 Aftercare: "Be sure to stay hydrated tonight to help flush out metabolic waste from today's deep tissue work."

Why General English courses fail Sports Therapists & Bodyworkers 🧘‍♂️🔨 Textbooks teach you how to order coffee—they don't teach you how to explain Tok Sen tapping, Gua Sha microcirculation, or cupping decompression to a nervous foreign client. Having spent a year in Thailand studying therapeutic modalities alongside personal training and movement coaching, I know that communicating why a treatment works is 80% of client trust. If you are a sports therapist, massage practitioner, or bodyworker looking to attract and retain English-speaking clients, let's refine your intake, in-session cues, and aftercare! 👇 Drop a comment with the modality you use most in your clinic!

Yesterday, I went to an event held at a large park near Asakusa Station. They were showing an outdoor movie, and the atmosphere was wonderful—it really felt like a break from the everyday. They were showing *La La Land*, which I’d been wanting to see for a long time, so I had a great time. It was so good that I’m now rewatching it from the beginning on Netflix. Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of foreign films. One that I really loved was *One Day*. It made me cry so much. I highly recommend it. There are still so many movies I want to see, so I plan to watch them soon.

Last week, I went to my cousin’s wedding. It was very beautiful and wonderful. I was very happy to see the wedding. I also have a dream for my future. I want to have my wedding at Hotel MiraCosta at Tokyo DisneySea. I want to be surrounded by Mickey, Minnie, and Duffy on my special day. I think it will be a wonderful wedding, and I really want to make my dream come true. Also, I recently changed the main language on my iPhone to English. I did this to get used to English. I am studying hard for the TOEIC test. I study 100 English words every day. I also want to study listening and reading with my textbooks twice a week. However, I have not done this well yet. I want to make it a habit, so I will keep trying hard!
