Reelu Lingo! A New Hope for Language Learners
In today's globalized world, mastering a language like English is no longer just an add-on to your resume; it has become a necessity. However, many learners in Japan face a significant hurdle: a lack of opportunities to use their language skills in real-world settings. To address this gap,
Reelu, a Tokyo-based company focusing on multilingual workforce solutions, has launched a new YouTube channel called
Reelu Lingo!. This channel offers practical advice, testimonials, and tips aimed at transforming the way learners utilize their language skills.
The Genesis of Reelu Lingo!
Among the challenges faced by English learners in Japan is the frequent lamentation of having no practical application for their studies. Many report feeling frustrated because they have invested considerable time in language education but lack outlets for using their skills effectively. Common concerns include, "How do I keep my English skills sharp after returning from study abroad?" or "What steps do I need to take to use my English for career advancement?"
Understanding these challenges, Reelu aims to change the narrative. Their goal is to empower language learners by providing them with the skills and opportunities to apply what they have learned. This initiative is part of a broader array of services like
Reelu Work—a flexible job service for multilingual talents—and the
Reelu Japan Guide, a tourism guide service promoting job opportunities for those fluent in English and Chinese.
What to Expect from Reelu Lingo!
The channel debuted with its first episode titled
"Can I Learn English Without Studying Abroad?", featuring a former student who managed to score 80 points in the English standardized test and subsequently became a tour guide. This episode reveals not only the effective study methods employed but also the training involved in bridging the gap between study and real-world application.
Future episodes are equally enlightening, with topics such as:
- - "Can I Work Abroad Without English Prep?": Insightful methods on acquiring practical English while working abroad based on personal experiences.
- - "How to Prepare for Studying Abroad?": Real-time experiences from learners balancing IELTS studies alongside practical guiding work.
By presenting a blend of real experiences and actionable insights,
Reelu Lingo! serves as a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their language skills and apply them in professional settings.
Bridging Language Skills to Employment
Reelu’s commitment to helping individuals utilize their language skills doesn't end with the Lingo channel. Through the
Reelu Japan Guide platform, they actively recruit individuals who can leverage their language skills in various capacities, particularly in tourism.
