Japanese people who seems to be the most far away from English language.

I am thinking what I should write about "Learning English" here in Japan. We, Japanese start to learn English at junior high school when we turn 13 years old. However, due to lack of learning English as a voice communication language for long time, Japanese are still struggling with using English properly even for daily communication with foreign people.
Here,I want to write about my concern regarding to "learning English in Japan" .
Let me introduce myself a bit. I am not a specialist of English language. I have been learning English as a communication language by myself since I got employed. Yes, I would like to improve my English skill more but I 'm still drifting in deep and dark forests without satisfaction of my English level in these days. Actually, I am very scared of my funny mistakes in my spoken and written English. But I hope this blog let me improve my English skill by writing and thinking in English.
I hope this article will be read by foreign people whose native language is English. I would like to let you know what I think about English language as a non-English native. I will be happy to have all of your comments.
