Fruency!

While wait­ing at the Ob-Gyn’s office, I spied a head­line in our Straits Times — “Japan acts to raise flu­ency in Eng­lish” — and was reminded of a YouTube video we saw ages ago of a Japan­ese game show game where par­tic­i­pants were smacked (on their bot­toms, no less) when­ever they lost con­trol and laughed at a clip of a man try­ing to read in Eng­lish. The best part is when he tries to count to a hun­dred in English.

He gets to 19 with few problems.

    It’s about time the Japan­ese do this — raise the level of flu­ency in Eng­lish in their coun­try. We exist in a global vil­lage and not in iso­la­tion. Espe­cially with the Inter­net, Eng­lish is still is the main lan­guage being used. Chi­nese being the other exception.

    Hilar­i­ous video Mr, Miyagi, It got me watch­ing all the other japan­ese game shows and other videos as well. Then i came across this. i found it amus­ing to see this for­eigner speak dif­fer­ent lan­guages when he vis­its gey­lang. Hmm…his accent to the dif­fer­ent lan­guages is appluadable.
