🌈 Episode Overview
In this episode, Abby and Eiji explore whether English proficiency tests like TOEFL and IELTS truly prepare learners for real-world communication—especially in the context of Japan.

They discuss the difference between studying for exams and living in English, the power of immersion, and how personal motivation shapes language growth. The conversation also touches on the challenges of translating between Japanese and English, and why understanding the bigger picture matters more than memorizing rules.

At its core, this episode reframes English not as a subject to master—but as a tool for deeper comprehension and connection.
