“English is now considered the international language for business”

It sure is! The Japanese are brilliant .. the government has a program to recruit new or recent college grads from English speaking countries to teach in their public schools .. starting in elementary school. It’s not intense, but by the end of high school, Japanese students have at least a working knowledge of the English language and how it is spoken by a native-English speaker.

If they are on a track that will lead eventually to their having to use English in international commerce, they would then work with someone like you who teaches privately at a higher level.

“The Japanese are brilliant “

So are the Koreans. There are many here with electronic and auto industries.
I have two young Korean girl students, 8 and 14.
I will have a lesson with the 8 yr old in the next few hours.
They both go to English schools and have numerous private tutors in other languages, music, and science.
