Chicka Yoshida is a Japanese YouTuber, who speaks two languages, Japanese and English. She lived in the United States for 16 years and came back to Japan. Yoshida’s inspiration to creating her YouTube videos started when one of her friend asked for help to correct her English in her resume. From then on, she started to make videos to teach Japanese people the proper way to speak English.

Although Chicka had to start from scratch, she kept to her passion and successfully built a channel from zero views to 1 million subscribers. Today, Chicka creates a range of videos which mostly include english lessons, travel, food, cosplay, giveaways, interviews, and many more.

In an interview with the Japan Times in 2014, Chicka says “I actually don’t like the filming part that much. What I love to do is to create things from scratch, and I really enjoy the editing process — watching it take shape,” If you are looking to see how Bilingirl Chicka teaches and her quirkiness, subscribe today!
