Overview
An English conversation school in Osaka's Umeda district that prides itself on one-on-one instruction. From the rows of booths, you can hear the slightly awkward English of people with various goals. A salaryman who was suddenly ordered to transfer overseas and started attending in a hurry. Others who believe that mastering English will lead to changes in themselves and their lives. Globalization, reforms in English education, the Tokyo Olympics... As the distance between people and English continues to shrink, we follow three days in the lives of those seeking their own unique paths.
