Ten ten ten ten ten ten…

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.
