  • MELANIE: Code Chrysalis, they teach in English.

  • It is the language of engineering and coding.

  • I am an engineer. I felt there was a big wall between me and other engineers.

  • I thought it was too late to learn a new language.

  • MELANIE: We never give any tests. We don't grade any homework.

  • By developing a program that's based on real news articles,

  • and real videos and topics that English speakers talk about

  • then, that means that they feel more comfortable in real situations.

  • So we're not just focusing on English, but we're focusing on thinking and sharing opinions

  • and exchange.

  • I think it's really valuable for them, but it's something they can carry over into their native language as well.

  • MICHIKO: In this class, we have to speak English all the time.

  • Out. Oat. Oat. Shout. Shout.

  • AKIRA: It's interesting. Many people's English level is different.

  • But it is no matter for us. I have eight friends to have conversations with.

  • MELANIE: You don't need to know all the words.

  • You need to know how to use the words you know to communicate what you want to say.

  • It's not about becoming perfect.

  • It's about using the skills that you have with confidence to reach certain goals.

  • And I thought anyone who wants to enter Code Chrysalis has a goal.

  • They probably want to change their career. Change their life.

  • That's the type of student I want to work with.

  • AKIRA: My mind is changed.

  • Now I like English, I am proud of my decision.

MELANIE: Code Chrysalis, they teach in English.
