Hi there, I’m at a B2 level on the CEFR scale. I’ve been learning English for many years now. I’m still not the smoothest learner, but I keep at it.
On this blog, I share my real experiences with learning English – ups and downs, and everything in between. Sometimes English feels like a puzzle with missing pieces, but I’m doing my best to put it together piece by piece.
If you are on a similar journey, I hope my stories and tips make things a little easier. This blog is just me, learning in real time – mistakes and all.
What to Expect
On this blog, I share the ups and downs of learning English. You’ll find things like:
- Honest reflections on what I’ve tried – whether it worked or not
- Tips that help you prepare for exams
- Small wins and little setbacks from my day-to-day learning
- Little things I’ve discovered in daily life
My Goal
My main goal is to become confident and fluent in English. I’m aiming to express my thoughts clearly in English – hopefully close to the level of my first language, Japanese. For certifications and scores:
- CEFR level: C1
- IELTS: Overall 7.5
- TOEIC: 950
