[...] A couple days ago, Fuji TV news did a “Super Report” about how the cops working night shifts at a police box in Tokyo’s Roppongi district spent the X-mas/New Year holiday period. As some of you reading this site probably know, Roppongi is very famous as a nightlife area and lots of foreigners who live in Tokyo love to go there to party. [...]

Wow. That is about the dodgiest Eikaiwa book I’ve ever seen.

And in the introduction alone there are (at least) three grammar mistakes:

#1 “Let’s face it, when it comes to actually conversation…”

#2 “but copying that English also a good way to make some hilarious mistakes”
(note to author: copying this English is not much better )

#3 (as pointed out by James) “That cute guy is still sitting alone and he seems to looking at you.”

My diagnosis: B.G. Johnson is an alias for some Japanese person. The grammar mistakes are the kind made by nearly fluent Japanese. So yeah, I doubt there is a B.G.

But this is a hilarious book either way.

[...] Der sehr bekannte Blog japanprobe.com hat eine eigene Kategorie für Sex. Mal abgesehen von Verweisen auf Youtube-Clips von leichtbekleideten Idols, findet man hier auch immer wieder Links zu recht interessanten Seiten. Eine große Diskussion gab es zum Beispiel wegen eines Pornos, dass sich um die englisch-japanische Sprachschule “NOVA” drehte und um eine zweiteilige Serie eines weiteren Pornos, in dem eine japanische Reporterin nach Afrika fliegt, um dort mit afrikanischen Ureinwohnern ungeschützen Sex zu haben. Japanprobe ist grundsätzlich sehr gut, weil es aktuelle Informationen und auch sonstiges Interessantes zu Japan liefert; Sex ist nur eine Unterkategorie. Sehr schön ist auch die detaillierte Besprechung des Comics Roppongi English in dem japanischen Frauen erklärt wird, wie sie am besten ausländische Männer ansprechen. [...]

Since when was it difficult for a Japanese girl to pick up a gaijin in Roppongi?

I could NOT stop laughing at the fangs they gave women who were angry: try and sneak in some good old-fashioned round eye bashing and they could NOT stop stereotyping women as what?…Vipers? She-hags? Man-eaters?…even for the length of a book.

The Japanese are so strange. As a friend of mine once said about one of the really untouched places of Europe (by immigration, he meant)…when white people are left on their own, they develop really strangely. Well, double goes for the Japanese, yeesh.

Naomi is “more experienced” at what? English or picking up foreign men? Is Naomi a whore or an expert at English?

Bravo! This book is highly entertaining. I can’t wait to hear more. And kudos to the author for teaching Japanese girls to pick up gajin.

[...] Following on from the guide book to help single gaijin (foreigners) pick up Japanese girls, seems that someone has had the idea of writing a book for Japanese lasses to learn English to help them pick up gaijin blokes (who, of course all speak English, and none of those other languages like Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Russian etc etc). Looks like Japan Probe is going to give us some samples from this book, should give Yuko a laugh to read through it. [...]
