Free English Speaking Society:
We will establish the free ESS where all the members learn English skills by themselves making use of the many English materials around us. Anyone can join us so that please make a contact with us.. The date and time of the ESS will be a daytime on Thursdays and it will start with 3 or more members. The possible members living in foreign countries or in the distance can join through Skype.
Actually we had the same kind of English learning sapce until over ten years ago at my office. Some of the young students in junior and senior high schools in those days are now working as a medical doctor in Europe and a company employee in the financial field in USA. I am proud of having made some contribution for them by offering the off-campus learning place.

A new English
learning branch opened by Free English Learning Society in Onomichi:
Regular free English
learning meetings have been held only in Minari in Onomichi, but we have now more than 20 studious people registered.
(The ideal number
should be 5 or 6 in a class, though.)
http://www.office-ktk.jp/vol-activities/ess-english-speaking-society-in-onomichi/
And we have been
requested to open the similar free English learning gatherings as well. So we have decided to open another new learning place in Kubo next month in September.
We are happy if we can
be prepared for coping with the increasing number of overseas tourists to Onomichi and can respond to expectations by broad range of English learners including seniors.
