Dear Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,
Although most people know a great deal about your "Abenomics" project by now, one of its most important goals is not well known or appreciated: to increase English proficiency in the country. The main plank of the plan is to increase the number of English teachers and assistant language teachers (ALTs) in Japan, a move that should help the country greatly.
However, you should be aware that many people in Tokyo already speak reasonably good English. The real problem is that they are afraid of making mistakes, which is why they decline to speak it.
