Zuiikin English 1

Hmmm... when I posted comments, I lost the video. So look for the video above. This is so funny!!! I found out this is actually a TV show in Japan. What I find funny is the contrast between the calm expressions and relatively controlled movement of the actors(performers? exercisers?) and the urgency of the phrases they are learning. I did get up and try it by the way - it's not as easy as they make it look...but now the phrase "I have a bad case of diarrhea" is permanently embedded in my brain. So I guess it works (although you don't learn the way intonation). I'm curious to see if there are other videos like this - for other languages. I'll take a look...
