Enhance Your Listening Skills during Lunch Breaks with Free English Seminars!

Are you looking to improve your English listening skills but struggling to find the time? You're in luck! Creek and River Company (C&R) is hosting a series of free online seminars tailored for creative professionals, set to kick off on July 7. These sessions will allow participants to enhance their English language abilities in just 15 minutes during their lunch breaks, making it easier than ever to fit language learning into your busy schedule.

Overview of the Seminars

C&R’s initiative, titled "Chris's Lunchtime English Conversations" focuses on two key areas: Listening Fundamentals and Reading Comprehension. This series is designed with the goal of making English learning enjoyable while boosting listeners' language skills.

Listening Fundamentals will consist of thematic lessons each week. The topics for July include significant historical dates and events that will help participants connect with the language contextually. For instance, on July 7, join the discussion about the birthday of Shohei Ohtani, the famous baseball player, and learn relevant English vocabulary related to sports.


In the Reading Comprehension sessions, which start at 12:45 PM, participants will dive deeper into relevant texts, answering quizzes based on what they've read in earlier sessions. This interactive approach reinforces learning and makes it much more rewarding.

Meet the Instructor

Leading the sessions will be Chris Larimore, who has spent nearly 30 years in Japan and currently manages language initiatives at C&R. With a rich background in teaching various language classes—from corporate training to university programs—Chris brings a wealth of experience to the table. His relaxed teaching style encourages participants to engage and learn without pressure. Whether you're a newcomer to the language or looking to refine your skills, Chris's seminars will cater to your needs.
