I do love Japan, and nearly everything about it, and the fact that J and J have Japanese godparents is surely good testament to some wonderful Anglo-Japanese friendships we have collected over the years. I and Y in Tokyo are going to roll their eyes now though. Y once remarked, in response to one of R’s many gleeful emails sending links to yet more examples of Nippon nuttiness always to be found on the web, that we must spend our days LOOKING for weird stuff to send to THEM, stuff which no one over there would ever come across, or even recognise as “Japanese”. Sorry, Y-chan, but it IS fun. And I know you are going to sigh at me posting this link, but COME ON! How WEIRD is this?! I agree pretty much whole-heartedly with the argument for practical language training taking an emotional rather than academic approach, but this?Mad Japanese language training video
It must be tongue-in-cheek, surely?
PS
Y and I, you are welcome to hit back and publish any examples of British lunacy. Our hapless PM might be a good place to start.
