QQEnglish to Host Free Online Webinar with Former TBS Announcer and Entrepreneur Hasen Kuniyama on Intensive Short-Term English Learning

QQ English Inc. (Head office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yorimitsu Fujioka; hereinafter “QQEnglish”) will hold a free online webinar titled “Intensive Short-Term English Learning: Efficiently Improve Your English Through Motivation Management and Spare-Time Study” from 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The guest speaker will be Hasen Kuniyama, a former TBS announcer and entrepreneur. While the spread of generative AI has made translation and summarization easier, the importance of being able to actually speak English is being reassessed. The webinar will focus on QQEnglish’s proposed learning design for acquiring “usable English skills” in a short period of time. Drawing on Kuniyama’s own experience as a learner who achieved results, the session will explain concrete methods for improving English ability in a short time. Background With the rise of generative AI, anyone can now translate and summarize English. However, in business settings, quick speaking ability and interpersonal communication skills remain essential. QQEnglish has identified two of the biggest challenges in English learning as the inability to continue studying and the lack of a real sense of being able to speak. The company has therefore worked to provide learning designs that allow learners to feel results even in a short period. In this webinar, QQEnglish will share the learning process of its official ambassador, Hasen Kuniyama, as a concrete example of this approach. Seminar Content The webinar will be held as a conversation between Hasen Kuniyama and QQEnglish consultant Saki. Based on QQEnglish’s intensive short-term learning design, the session will cover the following topics: ・The learning strategy that helped Kuniyama reach CEFR B2 from B1 in 100 days ・Training content that led to an 8-point improvement in his Versant score ・Learning design and motivation management that even busy professionals can sustain ・Specific study routines using spare moments throughout the day Speaker Profile Hasen Kuniyama Entrepreneur / Former TBS Announcer After graduating from university, Kuniyama joined TBS Television, where he served as main MC on numerous programs.
