The other day, my senior daughter told me an amazing story.

When she was serving a foreign customer, but she was in trouble and said just

"Just a moment, please"

and asked the customer to wait, her colleague told her

"Did you (senior daughter) study abroad in a language, Ebata-san?"

(By the way, she did not study abroad in a language program)

I think that English is used by people who need it when and where they need use it, by their own skill, and it is enough

However the thought of skill is based on "analog English ability" like TOEIC.

In comparsion, the English perspective that "using generic one-phrase English" jumps the idea all the way to "studying abroad, is

"Digital English ability" that has only two states, '0' and '1'"

I think that.

I wanted to shout it.
