Most Japanese people have a fear of speaking English.
Having many reasons, they can't get over it.

In my office, people can't answer anything when they take a international phone call.
On the other hand, there is an Japanese IT company starting Englishnization from the last year.
Their moves shocked Japan.
Some said it would be inefficient, others called it idiotic.
But I think their effort will be a great oppotunity in a long-term view.
