English is now the most common languages in the world. The Japanese Government has encouraged English education to Japanese people because Tokyo Olympic Games will be held in 2020.
It is difficult for Japanese to say the correct pronunciation in English. Japanese people do not find it necessary to speak English in their day-to-day lives.
Until now, English education only consisted of reading and writing in English. This is because this is the necessary amount of English education for the entrance examinations of high schools and universities.
But the most important thing in learning English is speaking. Other languages are the same, but many Japanese people don't have a chance to speak English in their day-to-day lives.
Of course English education is necessary for Japanese people, but I don't know if it is useful for Japanese.
Meanwhile we can read many English articles on the Internet. In the future the Internet will be more useful for Japanese people.
