This is a VERY old post that was on my previous website. The pictures are still pretty interesting so I thought I would put it up. It was a fun place to visit and I still recommend it.

Bad English, Great Entertainment
Monday, August 28th, 2006
Learning English is an uphill battle. All Japanese are required to study English in Jr. high School and high school (if they choose to go to high school). Many will continue to study English beyond this compulsory period. There is a flourishing industry for English learning books, videos, CDs, software and countless other things. Yet despite all of this Japan has a very low rate of English acquisition. How could this be? That is a big question and one I will not tackle in this post. What I will talk about is the fact English is very popular in Japan even if it is not used correctly.
