The UK (Official Name: The United Kingdom) Meaning: A country made up of four nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

5 Reasons Why Languages Are Important🌏 ～なぜ言語は大切なのかその５つの理由～
By Ron from EIGLOBE Language is more than just words—it’s how we connect, express ourselves, and understand the world. Whether spoken, written, or signed, languages shape our thoughts, cultures, and relationships. But why are they so important? 1.🗣️Communication Language is the key to everyday life. It helps us share ideas, ask for help, make friends, and solve problems. Without language, human connection would be almost impossible. 2.🎎Culture and Identity Each language reflects a unique way of life.

Que font les Français de leur temps libre ?
By Sebastien from EIGLOBE Comme dans de nombreux pays, le soir, la plupart des Français regardent la télévision ou utilisent internet. Beaucoup plébiscitent aussi les sorties au cinéma, au théâtre ou à un concert, ainsi que les visites de musées ou d’expositions, en solo ou avec des amis. De nombreux musées sont gratuits pour tous le 1er dimanche du mois, et pour les résidents tous les week-ends. Le week-end, les Français aiment s’asseoir en terrasse de café avec un livre et un bon café, ou discuter avec les copains en buvant une bière au bar du coin. Certains pratiquent un activité physique, comme la course à pied, le fitness ou […]
私が英語を学ぶ理由 -Why I study English-
By Chihaya, Student at EIGLOBE I’ll write about why I study English. It’s simple. I want to become stronger. My parents like traveling. I grew up hearing their travel stories. So, I was always interested in things overseas since I was a child, and my parents want me to go to many countries. But I’m so shy. When I was a teenager, I used to not talk with classmates or with store clerks. I used to not answer phone calls to avoid talking with someone. I also didn’t like studying… lol. Back then, I always said, “I can’t speak English. So, I can’t go anywhere yet.” 《私が英語を勉強する理由。それはシンプルです。ただ強くなりたいから。 両親は旅行が好きで、私は子供の時から色んな話を聞く機会があり、自然と海外に興味を持ち始めました。両親も私にどんどん海外に行ってほしいと望んでいるのですが、人見知りな私は思春期は、店員さんどころかクラスメートとも話すのが難しくて、電話がかかってきても出ることはなかったほどです。さらに勉強も苦手で…(泣)当時は「英語が話せないからまだ海外には行けない。」と言い続けていました。》 However, I’ve […]
外国人に出身地を聞く時に気をつけるべきこと -¿De dónde eres?-
By Beto from EIGLOBE A pesar de ser una pregunta muy simple y sencilla, nunca ha sido fácil para mí responderla de una manera rápida. Siempre necesito responder aquella pregunta con una explicación. Una pregunta que mucha gente puede responder con tan solo una palabra, a muchos otros les toma más tiempo contestar. Esto es algo que muchas de las personas que nacieron en un sitio, pero han crecido en otras ciudades u otros países podrán entender. Yo pertenezco al grupo a los que les toca explicar cómo crecieron para poder dar a entender quien es uno. Sin embargo, uno mismo queda con la duda: ¿Habré respondido a la pregunta? […]
日本に住むアメリカ人の悩み -What is it like for an American to live in Japan?-
By Sage Panter from EIGLOBE It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are, living in a foreign country is full of challenges. I am American and I live in Japan. I am going to talk about the challenges I have personally faced since I moved to here. The 1st challenge is… being a foreigner. America is referred to as a “melting pot” country. A “melting pot” is a pot that has many different ingredients inside that melt together. When a country is called a “melting pot” it means a country with many different types of people inside that live together. So, growing up in America, I was used […]
流暢ってどういうこと？ -What Does It Mean to Be Fluent?-
By Sage Panter from EIGLOBE What does it mean to be “fluent” in a language? Throughout my time studying other languages, I’ve given this question a lot of thought. Can a person consider themselves fluent if they pass a certain test? Can a person consider themselves fluent if they can simply communicate effectively with others in the language? Can a person consider themselves fluent if they build a big enough vocabulary? The truth is, no one has a perfect answer. There are many people, and even many language experts, who differ in opinion on what it means to be truly fluent. So, I have developed my own opinion on what […]
