How the Japanese Really Learn English

John P.

February 23, 2008 By John P.

How the Japanese learn EnglishOk folks… what I’m going to expose you to today can either be considered some of the greatest, or most heinous videos ever created! And yes, they come from our favorite little Pacific island nation, Japan!

Only in Japan could you take something as serious as education and turn it into television shows full of scantily dressed women acting out scenes including diarrhea; and then follow that up with people being beaten for laughing when someone else’s English lessons don’t go so well.

First, let’s learn how to call an ambulance, and tell them we have diarrhea!

The people in this next one drive me crazy!

Now, you may think this is funny, but I assure you it’s not! Just watch this next one to see how seriously the Japanese take their English instruction.

    Hilarious. But really, not that different from the German phrasebook I had on my first trip to Austria, which had such useful tidbits as:

    “Where are you taking me, officer?”

    “Am I being charged with a crime?”

    “I demand to speak to my consulate.”

    sorry, maybe you are right, because I only visit Manila for few days.. never go to countryside, and I can speak English with people on the market.. :)
    that’s better than in Japan, when I went to Taiwan, I see many Japanese tourist can’t speak English..

    I think soon many people in Japan will speak English fluently just like in Singapore and Philippines.

    English is only widely spoken in bigger cities here in the Philippines, if you go out on the countryside and try to talk to some of the older folks there you will get blank stares only :)

    Whatever is working, …they should just keep doing. God knows that we Americans are pretty much a unilingual nation.

    that’s a good video clip sample of how serious the student study in Japan.
    Japanese people are very proud of their national language, but most of them poor to speaking English and school in Japan are very strict and discipline. even this can make many student which is underachieved will be very frustrated!.
    I think soon many people in Japan will speak English fluently just like in Singapore and Philippines.

    That is pretty ridiculous. Once again, I’m pretty amazed at the things that Japanese people will do in their videos. Then again, there are all kinds of people out there that will do things that seem fairly ridiculous to me, regardless of their ethnicity.

    I had to repeat a class in school because of english, I basically knew all Iron Maiden songs with 16, and the lyrics and the meaning… but I was not really interested in Henry VIII and his six wifes. He did not even had them at the same time… boring, hehe

    I started to learn english with 19 when I was touring with bands through Europe, I still wish I would have taken a bit more out of the lessons in school…

    I just love the Karaoke reading line in the video

    cheers

    I do believe that is the best way to learn any language of course. Back in Denmark we just had Danes doing the English courses, I spent a fair bit of time using language tapes and cds as well.

    I really salute them. I think this is a good concept to learn english.

    funny videos, but in schools they are hiring native English speakers to assist local language instructors. Much much effective.
