There’s one problem with the Genki English way of learning. The idea is you just learn the things that are fun and things that you want to say, then try things out and if you make a mistake it’s cool as people usually correct you. Today I was getting no end of comments about the Sweet Shop Video with people saying “Why do English kids like rain?”, because although I speak Japanese with a thick Shikoku accent, apparently I pronounced the word “ame” ( sweets) the Tokyo way, which means I said “English kids like the rain”. Hmmm. Oh well.
