2004. When thinking about learning English, the common stereotypes were naturally Americans, British, and Australians; Filipinos weren't at all in my consciousness. Moreover, I didn't even know that the Philippines was a country where English was an official language.
After taking online English lessons from other companies, I realized that the English spoken by Filipino instructors is very easy to understand and pleasant to listen to, and some instructors have truly beautiful pronunciation. I was also impressed by the low prices. And the Filipinos I learned about through the internet were different from my previous perceptions.
In my mind, the Philippines was associated with nothing good – "developing country," "poverty," "the most dangerous and unsafe in Asia"... I had no positive images at all. Certainly, these aspects are true, and these images are hard to shake. Of course, the problems within the Philippines itself are a major cause. While diligence and seriousness were once synonymous with Japanese people, a strange sense of superiority that Japanese people have towards the Philippines and other Asian countries has made that a thing of the past.
I was one of those Japanese people too.
Many Filipinos had a completely different, bright image of being "cheerful and friendly," "hardworking and diligent," and "family-oriented and warm-hearted." I was truly ashamed to realize that despite being wealthier and more fortunate than them, I was always comparing myself to others and harboring complaints.
The Philippines is a far poorer country than Japan, and its public safety is not necessarily good. I am very proud that this service can effectively utilize the Philippines' strength, which is English, thereby improving the reality of Japanese people not being able to speak English. As a result, both countries can become more prosperous.

Filipino English can be described as "virtually native, but not truly native." American English is acquired unconsciously within an English-speaking environment from birth, whereas Filipinos acquire English consciously, having learned it from kindergarten and using it for all school classes. The processes are entirely different.
Americans are born speaking English, so I don't understand why they would use this particular English in this situation. However, Filipinos' English is a learned English, so they know how to acquire English.

It is understood by everyone that if you go to an English-speaking country and immerse yourself in life there, you will definitely be able to speak English.
By utilizing eTOC's services, you can create a similar environment. Coupled with the advancement of the internet, a situation where free international calls are possible has been achieved, making it easy to practice English conversation. Those who are serious about becoming fluent in English should expose themselves to as much authentic English as possible.

It is eTOC's pleasure for everyone to become fluent in English.
