Welcome to the Starfish English Blog!
Welcome to the official Starfish English blog! I’m glad you’re here. This blog is here to support your English, whether you’re a current student, thinking about joining, or just curious about language and learning in Fujieda.
Starfish English teaches students from Grade 5 (age 10) through seniors. Whether you’re just starting or returning to English after a break, you’ll find practical guidance here.
My aim is to help you build practical skills and the confidence to use them. The posts stay relevant to your goals, without unnecessary jargon or heavy theory.
