Weird English Conversation

Francol86 has turned some grade school English teaching audio into a lesson for adults:

I manipulated the audio tracks from the Eigo Noto CD (a cd that we used to teach grade school level English in Japan), and made this adult instructional video out of it. This video, surprisingly, won first place in the Fukuyama Film Festival 2010. Thank you to everyone who helped me make this video!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I use these materials every week and from now on they’ll make me laugh.

at 2 minutes and 27 seconds of this video,
the woman says “I like dogs” and the man says “I’m very hungry”

What the…. I thought this was a video for Japanese who want to learn English?
Or is it really meant for Koreans?

Real or fake, this is one of the funniest English training vids I have ever seen…

“It’s a pencil case.” LOL

That was hilarious, and the hostess at the beginning is kind of hot. Good times all around.
Ryry

This is hilarious!
I’m not one to steal people’s ideas, but really want to make one of these with the Japanese CDs that I have… the dialogue is so stilted and full of innuendo that it’s impossible not to think of it in a different context.

LOL! I did the “Head, shoulders, knees and toes” dance for my hot neighbor and her panties just straight dropped to the floor!
Charles

I thought she didn’t like soccer…

Not funny for me. Might make 40-year-old English teachers laugh though.

I’m not 40 years old and I am not an English teacher, yet I still laughed. Now what does that say about me?

I think this is really funny and very well done. The exaggerated expressions and gestures are very great and fit to the audio track perfectly!

Small world, I think that the Filipino guy is a JET from Okayama when I was a JET there.

Very funny! Now, that would be great for older students learning English. Good way of reusing material!
