Many business professionals learning English hit a wall, feeling that 'even though my English skills have improved, I cannot move my counterparts in negotiations or meetings.'
This is not a problem of English proficiency, but an issue of thought design (OS)—what to say, in what order, and why. This course fundamentally solves this issue by directly applying strategic thinking methods cultivated at the forefront of diplomacy to business scenes.
4 Issues This Course Solves
The curriculum is designed to address the following common challenges faced by Japanese business professionals:
- Fluency has improved with a Japanese coach, but I don't know what to say when facing foreigners.
- I can speak up in meetings, but in negotiations, I can't organize the talking points and get swallowed up by the other party's pace.
- Despite having English skills, I feel I lack the intellectual background and geopolitics to discuss on equal terms with counterparts.
- There was no place to train 'English x Specialized Knowledge x Communication Power' simultaneously.
Acquire 'Usable Thinking' with a Unique 3-Step Cycle
This course is designed with a unique cycle of repeating 3 steps: 'Learn', 'Use', and 'Refine'.
01 Learn — Seminar
Acquire the 'strategic thinking method' condensed from the front lines of diplomacy and negotiations through a webinar by Mr. Nakagawa. You will master it not just as knowledge, but as a usable philosophy.
02 Use — Man-to-man Lesson by QQEnglish
Immediately output the thoughts gained in the seminar during that week through online English conversation lessons twice a week (24 times in total). By putting it into practice before the input settles, the learning cycle accelerates.
03 Refine — Feedback
Mr. Nakagawa directly critiques participants' actual examples. The accuracy is raised to the limit with a 'perspective that has polished the words of a nation'.
Instructor: Koichi Nakagawa

He also served as an interpreter for Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress during state guest receptions, supporting multilateral negotiations such as the UN, G7, and APEC on the language front. The 'Think -> Design -> Communicate' framework, cultivated in tensions where a single word error could develop into a diplomatic issue, is immediately applicable in business. Today, on April 1, 2026, his first book, 'The Study Method of a Prime Minister's Interpreter to Master English in the Shortest Time', was published.
