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!

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

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)

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.

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

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 :P

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