Diplomat and Former Interpreter to Prime Minister & Emperor Launches English Course for Business Professionals; Master 'Strategic English OS for Negotiation' in 3 Months with QQ English

QQ English Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yorimitsu Fujioka) will launch the 'Global Business Person Training Course' in collaboration with Mr. Koichi Nakagawa, a diplomat who served as an interpreter for the Prime Minister and the Emperor. The program will kick off as a first-term program with a capacity of 20 people, consisting of 6 sessions starting on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

Prior to the course, free online briefing sessions will be held starting Thursday, April 16. Many business professionals learning English hit a wall, realizing that 'even though their English has improved, they cannot move their counterparts in negotiations or meetings.'

This is not a problem of English proficiency, but a problem of thought design (OS): what to say, in what order, and why. This course solves this problem fundamentally by directly applying strategic thinking cultivated at the forefront of diplomacy to real business settings.

Four Challenges Solved by This Course We have designed a curriculum that addresses the following challenges common among Japanese business professionals: - Fluency has improved with a Japanese coach, but you don't know what to say when facing foreigners. - You can speak up in meetings, but in negotiations, you cannot organize your points and get swallowed up by the counterpart's pace. - You have English skills, but feel you lack the intellectual background and geopolitics to discuss on equal terms with counterparts. - There was no place to train 'English × Specialized Knowledge × Presentation Skills' simultaneously.

Acquire 'Usable Thinking' with a Unique 3-Step Cycle This course is designed with a unique cycle that repeats three steps: 'Learn,' 'Use,' and 'Refine.'

01 Learn — Seminar Acquire the 'strategic thinking method' condensed from the frontlines of diplomacy and negotiation through webinars by Mr. Nakagawa. You will learn it not as mere knowledge, but as a usable ideology.

02 Use — One-on-One Lessons by QQ English Immediately output the thinking you gained in the seminar that same week through twice-weekly online English conversation lessons (24 sessions in total). Putting input into practice before it merely settles down accelerates the learning cycle.

03 Refine — Feedback Mr. Nakagawa will directly critique actual examples from participants. He will raise your accuracy to the absolute limit with a 'perspective that has refined the language of a nation.'

Instructor: Koichi Nakagawa As an exclusive interpreter for the Prime Minister, he attended multiple international summit meetings. A diplomat who 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 linguistic front. The 'Think -> Design -> Express' framework, cultivated under the tension where a single word error could escalate into a diplomatic issue, will be immediately useful in business environments. Today, April 1, 2026, he published his first book, 'The Study Method of a Prime Minister's Interpreter to Master English in the Shortest Time.'
