Hello, teachers!
"I am of the opinion that・・・" means "I have the opinion that・・・" , right?
Then "I am on the opinion that・・・" has the same meaning?
Thank you in advance!
With best regards,

You are correct.

Native speakers do not say "on the opinion." I do tell my students to stay "on topic," but I can't think of a situation where "on the opinion" would be used.
