The secret of practiceWe would like to introduce the Bestie members who are writing the articles.
Erinki-san
I call myself "Erinki-san" on Instagram, so I'd be happy if you called me Erinki.
I have two children, a 3-year-old daughter, Ii-chan, and a 1-year-old son, Chi-kun, who are currently in home care (they are scheduled to start kindergarten in April 2025 when I return to work).
We started DWE when our eldest daughter was 5 months old, with the hope that she would expand her world in the future while using English (with the hidden goal of ``having fun at California Disney with the whole family!'').
I'm having fun with my daughter and son, determined to master DWE during my maternity leave.
Every day, we try and error to find ways to connect children's "fun!" and "want to do!" to English..
This is home English, something I've never experienced before.
I joined Besty because I thought, "Since I've started, I want to see it through to the end with the goal of becoming bilingual."
The more I researched English at home, the more information I found, and I was easily swept away by it all, but Besty helped me to create a foundation for English at home.
At Besty, we are inspired by your efforts and are taking on the challenge of learning English at home for the first time.
I look forward to working with you from now on!

Non-chan
Nice to meet you✨
It's Non-chan!
I'm working hard on "home English" with my 4-year-old daughter, Nene, using DWE as the base.
I've always loved English, so I was determined to learn English conversation if I were blessed with a child.
When my daughter was 18 months old, I enrolled her in an English conversation class.
After two years, my daughter still can't speak a single word, and I'm convinced that it's impossible for her to master everyday conversation in a class that only takes place once a week.
I decided to start DWE, which I had always dreamed of, even though it was a late start at age 3 and a half❗️
I don't know how to proceed with purchasing the official full set😭
After browsing Instagram, I came across Yume Mama's account✨
From there, Yume Mama joined the first batch of Besties. The change in attitude and rapid progress was amazing🤣
I followed the advice and after just three months of DWE, I was able to output sentences♥️
I'm still working hard to become bilingual.
I hope to be able to share what I learned at Besty and my experiences with everyone.I hope so, so thank you very much🙇♀️

Osunu-san
Nice to meet you, I'm Osunu ☺️
I'm doing "home English" with my 3-year-old daughter, focusing on DWE.
I can't speak English at all, so I was determined to teach my child English at home once he was born. I hope he'll learn English at home too...🥺
We didn't use any videos until my child was two years old, so we just played music like Mother Goose, and when he was about two and a half years old, I came across Yume Mama's Instagram and started doing DWE in earnest.
I'm a used user, but I wanted to get the most out of DWE, so I read the guide thoroughly.Before I knew it, DWE research became my hobbyIt turned out to be
Even though I understand the connections, I have had difficulty incorporating them into my daily life and continuing to do so, so I hope to work hard at Besty while being inspired by everyone there.
“I also have an Instagram account under the name "Osunu" 🐶
I'm a little embarrassed to be participating in this blog when I'm still in the midst of taking in information and it hasn't yet reached its explosive peak, but I'd be happy to share with you all the aims and connections of DWE that I've discovered!
My family is currently working on implementing DWE, so let's have fun together!

Rino-san
Nice to meet you ☺️
I'm Rino❣️I'm currently working on "home English" with my 3-year-old son, focusing on DWE😌♫
Taking advantage of my son's interests, I have been able to improve his English skills while having fun playing.I plan to 🥺!
As a second-hand DWE user, I had a hard time meeting fellow students and no one to turn to for advice, so I continued to teach English at home with feelings of anxiety and loneliness rather than enjoyment. However, I wanted to approach English at home with my son in a more enjoyable and confident way, so I decided to join Besty, which offers an environment where I can hear directly from moms who have raised bilingual children and work hard with moms who share the same aspirations ❤️🔥💪
I am still working hard to become bilingual, but I have received a lot of advice from my teachers so far.I was able to work with confidence and have fun, which helped me reach my explosive period..
I'm very grateful for that, so I hope to update my blog with the hope that I can be of some help to moms who are feeling anxious, lacking in confidence, or struggling right now 🥹❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you very much for your support🙇🤍

Miku-san
Nice to meet you, I'm Miku 😺 I'm raising three children: a 6-year-old son and two daughters, aged 4 and 2.
In my household, English was mainly focused on reading and writing, but we started to refresh our English at home. When I discovered Besty, I was inspired and realized, "Maybe I can do this even though I can't speak English!" and I was able to change my path.
At first, he seemed reluctant to speak to me in English,I have been working every day with the mindset of "If I can't provide teaching materials or encourage students, then I'll just do something that's fun!!".
Now I can see her enjoying learning English, and I'm really glad that she wouldn't be where she is today if she hadn't met Besty!
I was able to keep going even when my motivation was about to wane because I had instructors I could talk to when I got lost and friends who shared the same goal of becoming bilingual.
There is still a long way to go before they become bilingual, but I would like to enjoy this journey together with my children, while being mindful of their interests.
I look forward to working with you from now on 🐱
