Why Fluent Professionals Still Struggle in English

Many Japanese professionals reach a high level of English fluency.
They can explain facts, understand nuance, and participate in discussions.The problem usually isn’t vocabulary or grammar.It’s structure.In high-stakes situations—meetings, negotiations, interviews—English communication often requires a more direct, opinion-driven, and listener-focused approach than Japanese communication.Without that structure, even fluent speakers can sound:
– vague
– overly cautious
– or less confident than they actually are

This is why simply “practicing conversation” rarely solves the problem.To sound confident and persuasive in English, professionals need to learn:
– how opinions are structured
– how disagreement is expressed clearly but diplomatically
– how arguments are built and defended
– how listeners expect ideas to be presented

These are thinking skills, not language tricks.

A Different Approach to Advanced English

Most advanced English programs focus on fluency.Fluent Edge focuses on how professionals think and communicate in English.In international environments, strong communication depends less on perfect language and more on:
– clarity of thought
– structure of argument
– awareness of the listener
– confidence in delivery

At Fluent Edge, we work on four core skills:

1. Structured Thinking

Learn how to organize ideas clearly before you speak - so your message is concise and focused.

2. Persuasive Communication

Develop the ability to state opinions, disagree, and make arguments without sounding defensive or vague.

3. Listener Awareness

Adapt your language and structure based on who you are speaking to and what they care about.

4. Confident Delivery

Speak with composure and authority, even in high-pressure situations.

This approach draws heavily on how lawyers, executives, and senior professionals are trained to think and speak.You don’t need to become a lawyer.But learning how lawyers structure arguments, anticipate objections, and communicate under pressure can dramatically improve your effectiveness in English.

Client Perspectives

「英語での考えの伝え方が、明確に変わりました。」英語は業務で日常的に使っていましたが、会議や面接の場面で、自分の考えを正確かつ説得力をもって伝えることに課題を感じていました。単なる英語表現の修正にとどまらず、こちらの意図を的確に汲み取った上で、「なぜその言い方では伝わりにくいのか」「英語話者はどのように論理を組み立てるのか」を丁寧に説明していただけた点が非常に印象的でした。英語での発信に対する考え方そのものが変わり、実務や面接の場面でも大きな自信につながっています。— Takanori

「予想外の質問にも、落ち着いて対応できるようになりました。」面接準備の中で、想定外の質問（いわゆる “curveball questions”）への対応に不安を感じていましたが、三段階の考え方を使うことで、論点を整理しながら自分の考えを伝えられるようになりました。単なる英語表現の修正ではなく、質問の意図をどう捉え、どの順序で考え、どのように伝えるかという思考プロセスを丁寧に指導していただけた点が非常に実践的でした。レッスン後に共有いただいたメモや表現集も、準備を進める上で大きな助けになっています。— Rina
