No Katakana!!

Some teachers in Japan try to use the Japanese katakana script to teach English. Well, don't! If you do, you'll be teaching Japanese, not English!! The new Ministry of Education guidelines even say "Do Not Pronounce English Words Using Katakana Sounds" and "teachers should not use katakana to spell out what has been said".


However, by using this little trick shown in the anime to the left, you can actually cure people's katakana accents!! It has all my teachers going "ahhhhh"!
