Video: Talkman teaches Engrish

Get ready for a blast of overpowering cuteness in this TV ad of Talkman for Kids, a title geared towards teaching Japanese kids how to correctly enunciate their Rs from their Ls, and then some.

Looking at the video, the game seems simple and easy enough - the word you have to pronounce properly is displayed on the screen, with what appears to be a trio of bird characters to gauge your performance. Say the word right, and you'll be rewarded with the word knocking one of the blue birds upside the head. Say the word wrong, and the bird does something that's not very nice. The pretty lady joins in on the fun, too, if you were wondering.

No more spoilers from us, enjoy the video!

Love the music in the background...TALkMAAAAAN Talkmaaaan

Is that just on a umd?

# english — Guest 2007-06-13 09:09

hmm...maybe english?

# Microphone? — El Xando 2007-06-13 09:09

Umm... What are they talking into? It looks like a little white bar attached to the top of the PSP.

# Looks decent — Korlithiel 2007-06-13 09:10

Looks to be decent and if they improve the game over the first Talkman it may be worth a buy for their intended audiance but Talkman appealed to anyone who spoke one of the languages it offered and I have yet to hear of anything like that for this version making it unlikely for me to buy it since I just want something to help with Japanese since I speak English fine (or at least as far as I'm concerned and college exams go)

# Engrish? — seargent007 2007-06-13 09:12

w00t!! give one to every mexican

# Engrish? — Guest 2007-06-13 09:29

Yeah, because i guess american people can speak spanish well...

# cool — Guest 2007-06-13 10:12

What is this new language i here of. Engrish. Sounds familiar.

# ur wrong — Guest 2007-06-13 11:03

what r u talking about american people cant talk spanish they suck

# dizzy — Guest 2007-06-13 11:40

What the hell are you talking about Dizzy seargent007 obviously lives in america and just wants those mexicans to learn to speak the american language. What does it matter if americans can speak spanish or not? Maybe if one day we invade their country in massive numbers it would matter, but until the next ice age forces us south then I don't see that happening.

# pretty good — Guest 2007-06-13 11:41

I got some cousins that need this.

# ur wrong — Guest 2007-06-13 11:45

Search for the word sarcasm in the dictionary. It might help you out...

And nice using my nickname...^^

# mexican — Guest 2007-06-13 11:49

It's funny because its true. Americans only go there for the drinks and beaches, and when they come back, the mexicans took their jobs!

*BTW, I speak spanish very well

# Whitey McKnight — Guest 2007-06-13 11:54

It has nothing to do with americans, mexicans or whatever.

I'm just pointing that it is tough to learn another lenguage. If someone says that mexicans can't speak english, I assume that the one who posted that knows at least 2 lenguages.

By the way, what do you mean by "those mexicans"? Talk about self-involved people.

PS: I'm not mexican by the way

# lol — Guest 2007-06-13 12:41

Give one to all the kids in South Central L.A.

# white — SiN7 2007-06-13 13:03

ppl leave the Mexican crystal beaches dirty they should ban them from going to those beautiful places and polluting the water.the american beaches are filthy green i got sick when i went into one :1

# dumbass — SiN7 2007-06-13 13:07

first is not just Mexicans its Salvadorians Guatemalans Hondurans Nicaraguans its endless so get yo ***** straight!

# hmm — Guest 2007-06-13 16:14

anyone else notice that the psp was one of those dev units?

you know, the one that hooks up to a tower pc with a umd drive and all?

# need it for english here — Guest 2007-06-13 18:36

well meaning we need one for other languages

crap even us americans could use this most can not speak english very well LMFAO

# OMG — Guest 2007-06-13 18:49

Nice to see some Engrish apps for PSP

(ROFL)

# psp-240 — Guest 2007-06-13 19:29

It's a silver usb microphone. Part number psp-240.

It also came with the original Talkman (for adults).

# cute woman — Guest 2007-06-13 22:36

she isn't that hot. now if the little girl were 10 years older...

# ROFL — Guest 2007-06-14 01:40

Look at the kids freaky overbite

makes u shudder :|

# SiN7 — Guest 2007-06-14 09:46

Those are all actually CITIES IN MEXICO.

You are an idiot.

# yeah — Guest 2007-06-14 09:48

Why would they use a dev version for that??

# Nicko01 — Guest 2007-06-14 14:55
