Yesterday I had the pleasure of giving a trial English lesson to a nice lady at Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi. She asked me if she was too old to study English and if there were other people her age studying at my English school. I told her she wasn’t too old and that we have people of all ages from children to retirees. This concern about age is something I have encountered quite a few times over the years teaching English in Tsukaguchi. My belief is that it’s never too late to study English or anything else for that matter. If you really want to learn something, it’s never too late to do it. Our founder Mark Smith believes it is never too late to start and he himself is today studying a postgraduate degree which he started at the age of 57. Some of my students in Tsukaguchi are in their sixties. If you really want to study English and improve your English conversation skills, don’t let concerns about your age hold you back. Just do it!
Happy studying! (^.^)
