Reminds me of a newbie JET story – went into a McDonald’s and wanted to order the #5 combo. Holds up his hand outstretched (counting out five) and points to the menu. Lady gives him five hamburgers. “o hitotsu” can be a lifesaver.

There’s a follow-up commercial where she goes back after practicing and can actually order. Not quite as amusing though.

Hard to believe that a portable game console will help anyone speak in another language more effectively. Look out ELT’s now you got Nintendo DS to take over your job! lol jk.

that was rather funny at the end. its jus like my time in philippines. i was in a kodak shop in a sleppy filipino town. asking lots of differant ways to explain how much the bill is as the photos are 1 peso each, and i didnt know how many photos i had. she jus kept saying ‘yes’, ‘yes’ ‘yes’ after 5 mins i was about to leave when she said in english, please pay!!

hell, my english cant be that bad, can it?
