About the Event Many people aim to become advanced English speakers, but the hurdle for Eiken Pre-1st Grade is high, requiring vocabulary twice that of the university entrance exam level 2nd Grade, plus an academic perspective. Sara narrowly failed on her first attempt, but continued her studies in her spare time and finally passed this spring. Are your scores plateauing? Do you feel you've reached the limit of self-study? Why not try the learning methods recommended by Sara? We will also introduce reference books that can be your study companions, as well as training methods used by professional interpreters, so the content will satisfy even those who are not aiming for certification exams. On the day, there will be a Q&A corner with Sara & Kenta Nishimaki, and practical speaking lessons. Let's aim to master English with fun, alongside Sara, who loves English and says, "It's important to enjoy studying."
