How it all started
Erican was founded on the spirit of “If Eric can, so can you.” This seemingly arrogant statement refers to the learning experience of the founder as a teenager.
When Eric Chong was young, he was brought up in a Chinese-speaking family. He was an unmotivated student who had no interest in studying in general. As a child, he particularly hated English because he regarded the language as difficult and unnecessary. As a result, he was unable to speak a word of the English language, even as a teenager.
His parents tried one last thing to salvage the boy’s future. His father took a loan and sent him off to Singapore to continue his high school education. Not only was Eric held back for two years, he was the constant subject of mockery and humiliation in class by his Singaporean classmates and teachers for being unable to speak a word of English.
One day, an angry teacher yelled at him “Which kampung are you from? Why can’t you speak a word of English?” That was the turning point of his life. Though Eric was lazy and unmotivated as a learner, he was patriotic. He was extremely upset that he brought shame to his country. He decided to turn over a new leaf. He vowed to master English within one year.
It took him the first three months to memorize the Oxford dictionary. He became one of the top students in his school and a champion English public speaker within a year. He has never looked back since then.
