CRAZY COCO, a 39-year-old former cabin attendant who has worked with a Middle Eastern airline, now entertains audiences as a comedian by sharing unique insights into the differences between Japanese and international cabin crew. With a following of 360,000 on her YouTube channel, she also focuses on English learning strategies, which she claims she only recognized after leaving her job as a cabin attendant. In an interview, she discusses how her experiences in school and abroad fostered her love for English, and she offers advice on effectively incorporating language study into one’s routine.

Her interest in English began in middle school when she discovered her proficiency through consistent test scores. This realization motivated her to engage more deeply with the language, especially after an exchange student from Australia sparked her desire to communicate in English. Despite her efforts to minimize interaction with other Japanese students during her study abroad in Australia, she found that many of her classmates were Japanese. To overcome this, she focused on engaging with students from other nationalities and insisted on speaking English to build her skills further.

In terms of practical learning methods, CRAZY COCO emphasizes the importance of watching movies as a learning tool. Specifically, she incorporates a meticulous approach by watching films like "Notting Hill" with English subtitles and taking notes on unfamiliar vocabulary. This technique not only enhances her vocabulary but also improves her understanding of pronunciation and nuance, thereby promoting effective language acquisition. CRAZY COCO’s story illustrates how personal experiences and strategic learning can significantly contribute to language mastery and expanding one’s vocabulary.
