Atlas’s Teaching Method｜jobs Osaka,Sapporo,Yokohama,Nagoya,Online Atlas English school

I wrote this book as I have worked at Atlas English school for many years. Time and time again, I see people making the same mistakes, and I wanted to help people speak more correctly. [CONTINUE]

There are many reasons that people make these mistake, sometimes they are direct translations from Japanese, sometimes they are not taught properly in schools and therefore the mistakes are so ingrained it is difficult to correct.

By taking time to read the book and understand why you make these mistakes you will significantly improve your speaking skills and seem much more natural. These are not the only mistakes of course, but I would estimate that they are around 95% of the mistakes I hear on a daily basis.

The book doesn’t need to be read cover to cover in one sitting, but can be dipped into when you have a free 5 minutes or so. It is perfect for your morning commute on the train or to study in your lunch hour.

When reading this book you don’t need any special grammatical knowledge but the following words and phrases will be very useful to know:
