3 reasons why it\u2019s difficult to express your opinion in English – which is yours?<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u306a\u305c\u81ea\u5206\u306e\u610f\u898b\u3092\u82f1\u8a9e\u3067\u8a00\u3048\u306a\u3044\u306e\u304b\u3002\u4ee5\u4e0b\uff13\u3064\u306e\u7406\u7531\u304b\u3089\u5f53\u3066\u306f\u307e\u308b\u3082\u306e\u306f\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u304b\uff1f<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Take a moment to understand which of these three reasons applies to you. Then it\u2019s easier to know what you can do about it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1. You don\u2019t even have an opinion in Japanese<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3067\u3082\u610f\u898b\u304c\u306a\u3044<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You may think that it\u2019s difficult to say your opinion in English, but can you say it in Japanese? You can\u2019t be clear in your non-native language if you\u2019re not even clear in your native language.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
One of our Sasuga! Circle members commented:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy friend said that his English was dramatically improved after he began to work as a consultant. He said logical thinking in Japanese helped.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So the first step is to be sure that you have clear thinking and an opinion in your native language.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow to develop your opinions in Japanese<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When you read or hear about a topic – whether it\u2019s in conversation, online, in a book, or in a meeting – ask yourself what your opinion is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Even better, carry a notebook or a device to record the topic and your opinion on it. Review your notes daily or weekly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This will get you into the habit of developing your opinion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2. You don\u2019t have the English vocabulary<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u82f1\u8a9e\u306e\u8a9e\u5f59\u4e0d\u8db3<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Once you have something to say in Japanese, you may find that you don\u2019t know the appropriate words in English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Sadly, there\u2019s no quick solution to this. You need to invest the time studying and using English to develop your vocabulary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You may look at your colleagues – native speakers of English or Japanese team members who speak fluently. It\u2019s easy to think that it\u2019s easy for them. But consider how much time they\u2019ve invested in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow to develop your English vocabulary<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Start with easy and fun. Which is most fun for you – reading, writing, listening, or speaking? Set a goal around that. For example, choose one of these and do it once a week:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Read a blog post<\/li>\r\n
- Write your opinion in an online group<\/li>\r\n
- Listen to a podcast<\/li>\r\n
- Speak with a colleague<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When I was first learning Japanese, I worked in junior high schools as an English assistant. On Mondays, I would go into the teachers\u2019 room and tell one of my colleagues what I did at the weekend. My Japanese vocabulary wasn\u2019t so good and sometimes my colleague introduced new words to me. Then I found another colleague and told the same story using the new words. I repeated the process again. This helped me to improve my Japanese vocabulary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As Tony Robbins says, \u201cRepetition is the mother of skill.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I suggest an easy and fun approach so that you can keep learning. If it\u2019s difficult, most people give up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Once you have some momentum, set a bigger goal. It may take time, but you will definitely improve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n3. You\u2019re setting your expectations too high<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u81ea\u5206\u306e\u30b9\u30bf\u30f3\u30c0\u30fc\u30c9\u304c\u9ad8\u3059\u304e\u308b<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You may already have opinions and have spent many hours studying and practicing English, but you still find it difficult to express yourself in English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I hear this so often from my clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is usually because you\u2019re setting your expectations too high. You\u2019re worried about making a mistake, so you don\u2019t say anything. Or you speak, but your colleague doesn\u2019t immediately understand you, so you think your English isn\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow to set realistic expectations<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Did you know that native English speakers who are talking with each other can have misunderstandings? Does that mean that their English is bad?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Misunderstandings sometimes come from unclear language, but more often it\u2019s from different assumptions or from not listening properly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So don\u2019t be disheartened if people don\u2019t immediately understand you. Test out different ways to express yourself. Ask for advice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We learn from our mistakes. \u5931\u6557\u306f\u6210\u529f\u306e\u5143.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Instead of expecting that you can speak \u201cperfect\u201d English, focus on getting your message across.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You may think that it\u2019s difficult to say your opinion in English, but can you say it in Japanese? You can\u2019t be clear in your non-native language if you\u2019re not even clear in your native language.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
One of our Sasuga! Circle members commented:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy friend said that his English was dramatically improved after he began to work as a consultant. He said logical thinking in Japanese helped.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So the first step is to be sure that you have clear thinking and an opinion in your native language.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
How to develop your opinions in Japanese<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When you read or hear about a topic – whether it\u2019s in conversation, online, in a book, or in a meeting – ask yourself what your opinion is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Even better, carry a notebook or a device to record the topic and your opinion on it. Review your notes daily or weekly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This will get you into the habit of developing your opinion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
2. You don\u2019t have the English vocabulary<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u82f1\u8a9e\u306e\u8a9e\u5f59\u4e0d\u8db3<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Once you have something to say in Japanese, you may find that you don\u2019t know the appropriate words in English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Sadly, there\u2019s no quick solution to this. You need to invest the time studying and using English to develop your vocabulary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You may look at your colleagues – native speakers of English or Japanese team members who speak fluently. It\u2019s easy to think that it\u2019s easy for them. But consider how much time they\u2019ve invested in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow to develop your English vocabulary<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Start with easy and fun. Which is most fun for you – reading, writing, listening, or speaking? Set a goal around that. For example, choose one of these and do it once a week:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Read a blog post<\/li>\r\n
- Write your opinion in an online group<\/li>\r\n
- Listen to a podcast<\/li>\r\n
- Speak with a colleague<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When I was first learning Japanese, I worked in junior high schools as an English assistant. On Mondays, I would go into the teachers\u2019 room and tell one of my colleagues what I did at the weekend. My Japanese vocabulary wasn\u2019t so good and sometimes my colleague introduced new words to me. Then I found another colleague and told the same story using the new words. I repeated the process again. This helped me to improve my Japanese vocabulary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As Tony Robbins says, \u201cRepetition is the mother of skill.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I suggest an easy and fun approach so that you can keep learning. If it\u2019s difficult, most people give up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Once you have some momentum, set a bigger goal. It may take time, but you will definitely improve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n3. You\u2019re setting your expectations too high<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u81ea\u5206\u306e\u30b9\u30bf\u30f3\u30c0\u30fc\u30c9\u304c\u9ad8\u3059\u304e\u308b<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You may already have opinions and have spent many hours studying and practicing English, but you still find it difficult to express yourself in English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I hear this so often from my clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is usually because you\u2019re setting your expectations too high. You\u2019re worried about making a mistake, so you don\u2019t say anything. Or you speak, but your colleague doesn\u2019t immediately understand you, so you think your English isn\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow to set realistic expectations<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Did you know that native English speakers who are talking with each other can have misunderstandings? Does that mean that their English is bad?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Misunderstandings sometimes come from unclear language, but more often it\u2019s from different assumptions or from not listening properly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So don\u2019t be disheartened if people don\u2019t immediately understand you. Test out different ways to express yourself. Ask for advice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We learn from our mistakes. \u5931\u6557\u306f\u6210\u529f\u306e\u5143.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You may already have opinions and have spent many hours studying and practicing English, but you still find it difficult to express yourself in English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I hear this so often from my clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is usually because you\u2019re setting your expectations too high. You\u2019re worried about making a mistake, so you don\u2019t say anything. Or you speak, but your colleague doesn\u2019t immediately understand you, so you think your English isn\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow to set realistic expectations<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Did you know that native English speakers who are talking with each other can have misunderstandings? Does that mean that their English is bad?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Misunderstandings sometimes come from unclear language, but more often it\u2019s from different assumptions or from not listening properly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So don\u2019t be disheartened if people don\u2019t immediately understand you. Test out different ways to express yourself. Ask for advice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We learn from our mistakes. \u5931\u6557\u306f\u6210\u529f\u306e\u5143.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Instead of expecting that you can speak \u201cperfect\u201d English, focus on getting your message across.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
