私は日本で生まれ育ちましたが、米国で弁護士と矯正歯科医の資格を取得しました。私が英語発音の壁を乗り越えられたのは、ザ・ジングルズのおかげです。
日本の高校からカナダのトロント大学に進学することが決まった私は、ひとつ大きな壁に直面していました。それが英語の発音です。留学準備期間にザ・ジングルズで英語の発音を向上させたことで、その後の英語習得を効率化できたことが、私の人生における最良の選択でした。
トロント大学を最優等の成績で卒業し、米国でロースクール、ビジネススクール、デンタルスクールの全てに総額4千万円以上の奨学金付きで合格しました。ハーバード大学の博士課程卒業後はシカゴで矯正歯科に就職し、雇用ベースのグリーンカードを取得しました。2026年2月のイリノイ州司法試験は合格率が約4割でしたが、一度目の受験で合格しました。
ザ ジングルズは私の人生を変えました。もしもザ ジングルズに出会わなければ、「発音」の壁を乗り越えることは不可能でした。
医学界ではエビデンス(根拠)という言葉がよく使われますが、ザ・ジングルズにはエビデンスがあります。インストラクターの先生方、そして、ザ・ジングルズを通してネイティブのような発音を身につけた数多くのクライアントの方々がエビデンスです。
言語習得の臨界期を過ぎた日本語母語話者の英語発音を、科学的に体系化された訓練法を用いて数万人規模で向上させることに成功したのは、スティーブ・ウォーカー氏が世界で初めてです。以前の私と同じように英語発音の壁に悩んでいる方が、ザ・ジングルズによって美しい発音を身につけられることを心から願っています。

I obtained my doctoral degree in Medical Sciences from Harvard University. I also got accepted into business school (MBA), law school (JD), and dental school in the United States, with over 300,000 USD of merit-based scholarships. Nothing has yielded a higher ROI (Return on Investment) in my academic and professional career than The Jingles.
As an orthodontist who also obtained a doctoral degree in Medical Sciences from Harvard University, I believe that the improvement in my English pronunciation, made possible by the Jingles, is the most valuable asset that I have acquired while learning English.
I was born and educated in Japan until high school graduation. At age 17, I obtained one of the highest TOEFL scores ever achieved by a Japanese high school student (283 on the CBT, equivalent to 116 on the iBT). I was accepted at the University of Toronto with an entrance scholarship. Prior to my departure for Canada, I spent 6 months practicing The Jingles. This turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
As an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, I was awarded 6 merit-based scholarships. I then studied dentistry at New York University on a full-tuition scholarship. I also got accepted into business school (MBA) and law school (JD) with tuition scholarships of 50% and 70%, respectively. I obtained my research doctorate degree from Harvard University, where I also completed my specialty residency in orthodontics.
I owe my academic success to The Jingles. As my English pronunciation improved, I found that my listening comprehension skills developed as a direct result. Furthermore, the ability to pronounce newly encountered words in a native-like manner enabled me to memorize these words very easily. The benefits of The Jingles cannot be overemphasized in preparing for the GRE, speaking section of the TOEFL (which I had to retake for graduate school admissions), as well as MBA and dental school admissions interviews.
The Jingles has transformed my life. Without The Jingles, it would have been impossible for me to completely overcome the language barrier typically experienced by international students because of their difficulty with English pronunciation.
“Evidence” is one of the words used most frequently in medicine today. The success of The Jingles is based upon empirical evidence – thousands of satisfied Jingles clients, some of whom have developed completely native-like English pronunciation.
Developed through Mr. Steve Walker’s extensive research in speech science and applied linguistics, The Jingles is the only scientific, evidence-based approach that has successfully improved the English pronunciation of over 30,000 adult ESL speakers. I sincerely hope that people all over the world who have difficulty with English pronunciation, just as I did before, will avail themselves of the opportunity to develop native-like English pronunciation through Jingles training.
