Hello, It's Lawrence from Lawrence’s crypto English Podcast.

I was born and raised in Tokyo. I’m an office worker that is in charge of outsourced PC maintenance and lease contracts and belongs to the accounting department.

In my free time, I publish content such as newsletters and podcasts on topics related to blockchain and web3. At Discord, I run a community dedicated to learning about crypto, NFT, and other technologies, and we hold monthly study sessions.

I study English because I want to develop my own business in crypto and Web3. I am very excited about this industry and have great respect for Japanese people who are active in the world. I am studying English so that I can be one of them and give a little courage to the Japanese people.

Today I’m gonna talk about what I learned about the reasons why I cannot speak English. I watched a movie on YouTube. this movie said that the reason you don't speak English is that you don't have many opportunities to speak English.  this is a very simple reason. but I think the reason why many Japanese cannot speak English is because of the lack of English speaking in Japanese school education. so I decided to distribute the podcast in English and started “hitorigoto”.

When you speak to yourself in English, you can speak freely what you want to say without worrying about the other person's reaction. Even if you did not speak well, you can say it again. By continuing in this way, I think you will be able to say what you want to say naturally even when you are in a conversation with other people.

ok, That’s all for today. thanks for listening. bye bye
