1. Fujikawa named the business Logiglish, combining “logic” and “English”.

2. The article does little to share what her company does different aside from her team being women from developing countries with English speakers.

   I wish there was more information about what exactly they do that is noteworthy.

3. I don’t quite understand. This ‘entrepreneur’ has made an eikaiwa and employed the poorest, most desperate English speakers to staff it?

   Sounds like any other Eikaiwa to me.

4. There are lots of these Eikaiwa’s using cheap labor in the Philippines popping up.

   I did some snooping, these teachers get paid ~500yen/day. And a single lesson is from like 1000+yen. It practically prints money, and you don’t need to worry about any HR related stuff because the local connecting company does all the work for you.
