BBC learning English - 073/100 -

Screenshot

Today I finished the series of “How to” by BBC learning English. There are fifty-two sessions in this program. I have been hearing a session per day until today, every day. At first I only heard the audio. Secondly I heard the audio with reading the transcript. Finally I checked the words or idioms which I am not sure that mean and recorded them. 
I am going to try again from the first session tomorrow.

I would like my next career to be one that earns foreign currency (dollars). Japan's national power has been declining recently, and earning yen in Japan is inefficient and risky. However, I need to improve my English skills. My TOEIC score was around 400. In addition, it would be preferable to be self-employed. One of my children has a developmental disorder. Considering his future, leaving a business where we can work together would be a risk hedge. In order to be self-employed overseas, I must improve my English skills above all else. Next, I will find connections and work in the country where I will be working (Australia is the most likely candidate), and eventually become independent. How do I learn English? I thought that I would not be able to acquire a working level of English by attending an English school, as is the commo...
