eigo noto

[sukiim19]

wth ahahah

[andywattbulb]

Lol so much fail!

When people start complementing me on my clothes I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[saske1305]

wow so nice thanks now i can try to get a japanese girlfriend :D

[chunkydude1215]

Please make a part 2 for the 2nd textbook!!!! This was awesome. Thank you.

[francol86]

@chunkydude1215 Thank you for your comment! I would make part 2, but Im not in Japan anymore unfortunately. It just wouldn't be the same in another country :(

[midori1]

ZOOOOOOOmygosh....eigo noto....



[seroppi]

Yes, it will be difficult to go back to school now and teach that book! I really don't like the chants and I can see in the kids faces they think they are lame.

[kakaze]

so this is a bunch of japanese folk mocking it? odd they'd get the stupidity!

[kestatann]

Great video. I was required to use Eigo Note to teach at five schools.. The times we effectively learned English were during more free lessons.

Great first date

[alab127]

I love the "Head shoulders knees and toes" part!!!

[HBayani]

This needs to be played at Tokyo Orientation! That way all the newbies know what to expect. ^_~

[ShinobiSasukeUchiha]

4:22-4:28: DUDE, THAT'S A HIGH HEEL SHOE, NOT A PEN. XDDDDDD

[snkhuong]

when i watch up until the part "second book: how to break up" i don't know if this is instructional, funny or sarcastic anymore

[Zinnyster85]

that was the funniwst thing ever!

[Leecher4711]

HAHA ... thats hillarious. But Im afraid most English text books are like that. I remember having had to spend hours on the issue of where the apple was ("Where is the apple?" "is the apple on the table?" "No, the apple isn´t on the table!" "Is the apple under the table?" "No, the apple isn´t under the table!" "Where is the apple?" and so on and so on and so on) Thing is: if you can´t find that damn apple, go and buy one! Just thinking of people actually using that English for real - (^_^) THX

[mudorahoshi]

This is AMAZING because I just had to teach my kids, "Please try my taco, Jeff." "Thanks, oh, it's yummy." in class. I seriously almost lost it. Meiling is pretty generous if she just lets her classmates eat her taco.

[KKoelling86]

It's funny cause these are the actual tracks...that are so painful to listen too:( lol

[stefie01]

I can't practice flirting with my neighbours, they're all old and some are related to me, gross!

[Gravity382]

this video is amazing! wow, I love that guy. If anyone can make "head, shoulders, knees, and toes" sexy, it's him!

...my teachers/students would probably wonder why I can no longer handle teaching the phrase "It's a pencil case" without cracking up

[francol86]

glad to hear people still like this!! 

[hyperwolf3700]

i cant stop watching this, its so awesome!!

[HajimeNoJMo]

i will never be teaching eigo note the same way again after watching this.

[untmdsprt]

The guy in the blue shirt doing the "head, shoulders, knees and toes" was so sexy when doing that. I'll never be able to do that song anymore.

[silentsipher]

I dont know who you people are, but this was amazing.

God bless you.

[namster2k]

I'm currently teaching elementary schools in Japan too. I loved your video! Great job! But what's with the minute and a half of nothing at the end of the video?

By the way, for anyone interested in the original songs from Eigo Note, you can check them out here:

[morningstarscrew]

I used to teach English in Elementary and we used that Eigo Noto! You guys are amazing. HAHAHAHA!

[MapleLeafHashima]

Great video :)

[bleebluu]

This video made my day =)

The songs will never be the same again lol

[anonymityismyname]

This video is nice :)

[BillA1016]

This is hysterical! I'm a SHS ALT and don't have the pleasure of using Eigo Noto, but this video still cracks me up! 

[angeljapan]

DUDE! It's a good thing I'm not teaching anymore, because if we used that text... after watching this, I'd be giggling ALL through class!

[rockindancer86]

That was freaking awesome.

[greatestskater]

This is the best video i have ever seen on youtube, however, i am seriously worried about how much il laugh in class when this audio is played from now on! Hopefully itll just come across genki! :) great job, please make eigo noto 2!

[takoyakiball]

Oh man, you had me ROLLING the whole time~!!! This is A+ brilliance right here~!!! Just when I thought Eigo No-to would haunt my life forever, you put a hilarious spin on it. Eigo No-to will never be the same.  Good work and see YOU. :P

[rocketgal]

haahah this is astounding

[TaishaJason]

fantastic stuff! Loved the vid!

[camswitzer]

I used to teach "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" to all my grade schoolers 15 years ago! Thank god I'm not still teaching them or I'd want to strangle you because I'd never be able to do it with a straight face again!!!

Great video!

[snowdusk715]

@francol86 You're welcome! :-D Can't wait for your next movie! :-D

[SnowPaleVampire]

that is such amazing video !!!! It made me laugh so much >_<

Thanks for brightening my day :D

[NichiBeiTrader]

"It's a pencil case" was THE BEST!... Still laughing!...

[YoDarrell]

LOOL love it

[TkyoSam]

Dude I had to use Eigo note all the time, that was fuckin funny as shit man. Thats awesome that you made a vid like this.  Only ESL teachers would get the humour lulz.

[maxximmc]

Oh my God. As a former JET (who taught in Okayama, Okayama pride yeah!), I love this video. I'm linking it to my friends who are still there! Thank you for making it--makes me wish we could do this kind of video for our students...without being thrown out afterwards :D.

[francol86]

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful comments. I just read them all. Im pretty amazed so many people are watching my videos! how cool!! luv lena.

[nyguitar83]

This is the most amazing thing...ever in the history of English education in Japan....I must...show ....my cooperating teachers....awesome.

[thomchak]

Fantastic!!!!!!!! I am gonna piss myself laughing though on Monday in class

[darkwombat]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that Italy was being enjoyed just a bit too much.

[jlifeofmiko]

@darkwombat I always wondered what my kids were thinking when they heard that. My HRT just said, "wow! High tension desu ne!"

[OshiriHairiYubi]

Haha! Very good! I hope there's more!

[daiquirikiss]

After a year of being an ALT for elem kids... this is fantastic! I want to show my HRTs

[trubaduur]

"What's this? A pencil case! " I´m sensing an unintentional nasty double entendre!

very funny vid!

[slus90]

that guy rly had a green "cap" . not blue

anyway, thx for video. my students rly enjoyed it!!!

[mecchahappii]

you mofos!!! i just finished the "green cap, green cap, do you have a green cap?" lesson. great. thanks for poisoning my mind forever.

(also you were totally reading someone's notebook when you did the intro and conclusion, weren't you?)

[francol86]

@mecchahappii Sure was! Actually, I was reading from poster board. I had no time to memorize it!

[ArtHouseQueen]

@mecchahappii Ahhh, that chant will forever be lodged in my brain! No, no, no I don't...I don't have a green cap!! AHH!

[williamishiwata]

golden!

[ZimZader]

Hahaha, oh man... For some reason, after seeing this, I feel like I can never teach English again. Does anyone else feel the same way or is it just me?

[KokichiX]

Ahahaha love it. I hate having to use Eigo Noto so I generally just shun it for my own activities. Great to see someone using it for good!

[budgettroubleblog]

So when is part 2 coming up??? :-)

[francol86]

@budgettroubleblog Im not in Japan anymore :( so its just not the same making fun of eigo note in America...probably wont be making a part 2 sorry

[LabiodentalFricative]

This I heartily approve of. Well played!

[HBayani]

OMG That was hilarious! I just started teaching English last week using these two books, and we just did some of these lessons!!! Hahahahaha awesome

[MusclecarsMeditation]

Ex.cel.lent.

[kankistador]

Leeeeeeena- awesome job! This is so perfect! Congrats!

[francol86]

@kankistador is this Jamie!?? thanks!

[picoharmotimpo]

This won a prize at a film festival in Fukuyama, Hiroshima-ken? That's my Japanese hometown. Great job.

[alkaiser142]

I thought Lesson 4 was great, but then I completely lost it on Lesson 6. I'll never be able to teach my classes without thinking of this video now.

[jeanniebean63]

Oh my god, I died. I've already heard a few of those songs in my 5th/6th grade classes, and it was hard to keep from laughing to begin with...I don't know how I'm going to keep a straight face now that I've seen this. Priceless.

[albatalpa]

That is brilliant. Did you get JTEs to participate, too?

[francol86]

@albatalpa Yes, all the actors were Jets in Okayama except for the Japanese people in the video.

[alantringuyen]

you know what it kinda remind me of that zuiikin English (take anything you want - spare me my life =))

[FloatnFlow]

LOL, i lost it at "its a pen", that guy is awesome

eigo noto 2 PLEASE

[mekugi]

hahaaahaaaaaaa great

[mybigtokachi]

What happens when you have ALTs with toooooooo much free time on their hands.

Still, after fuel for the wood burning stove, I think this is probably the best use of this fine MEXT resource that I've seen yet. Definitely not safe for children though.

[87sprintqf]

haha this fkn great!

[omgharajuku]

"it's a pencil case!"

hahahahaha

[mimei]

hilarious :D

[TheTrahnier]

Like a literal lyrics music video!... I am looking at pencil cases now.

[SlimeTron5000]

Wrong English, Americans!

[matkojapan]

This is chalk full of AWESOME! I wish I had a pencil case like that!

[KiaoraAmy1]

This is absolutely AMAZING! I'm starting the "I can~" lesson right now... how am I going to keep a straight face?

[J44xm]

まさに傑作です。お見事。

[TheNews1990]

omg

[Streetrally]

Oh man, this is priceless. Thanks for giving me some sort of solace during elementary school classes.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Just came back to see this again and to get the URL to send it to all the English teachers I know :-D

Best thing I have seen on youtube for a long time :-D

[hyperlust]

上手なナンパ方法！BEST. VIDEO. EVER.

[TheSillyOldDude]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

:-D

The only thing more inane than the dialogue in those CDs is the painful accents on the voices!!

Well done!!

[shimasterc]

Sir, you are absolutely bold. (this is Chris from Okayama).

I hope you got some money for winning that award.

[anjinsan9000]

That's amazing :)

[CarneBrilthor]

This.

[jayflory]

We use them here too. I LOVE this vid!

[irit8r]

haha this is great! i have to show the japanese teachers at school this vid

[Gimmeaflakeman]

@irit8r

Thanks for sending me this! Hilarious!

[irit8r]

@Gimmeaflakeman its pure gold isnt it!! i use these everyday in classes so its very funny to see them used this way

[RaeoftheAntarctic]

I taught that stuff for 18 months! I love what you did with it! Serious good s**t man!

[skierbiker35]

I've been teaching this stuff for over a year now too, absolutely awesome! Well done, thanks for the laughs.

[jdmj0]

I love it! I'm going to show my JTEs this video next week

[blayde00]

This is great! thx for the laugh :D.

[DarqueMyth]

Oh my god, this is so amazing!

[PurgatoriX]

After teaching from this book for the past year, I have to say that this is probably the coolest thing to every come from it! I laughed so much!! Also, I think you guys might have stolen some of my dance moves ^_~ Well done!

[WolfHavenXIII]

Pencil Case's FTW.

[PinkGrapefruit22]

This is made of awesome. Do you think you could do Dansinglish next? A ha ha ha.

[snowdusk715]

Hey LCF! Thanks for sharing! I laff every time I watch this. You've got nice comments! Hey, I was the guy wearing blue by the way, thanks for the nice comments Magesticbaby! :-D LCF, make sure when you make a new film, post it, OK? I'm your No. 1 fan!

[francol86]

@snowdusk715 Sure will! Thanks for being a star in my video! Love you GG!

[tangerinedream00]

I had the fortunate timing of actually watching this in the staffroom, and after laughing my ass off PRETTY LOUDLY I soon had everybody crowded around my tiny laptop shouting "YABAI!!" and giggling with me! XD

1:52 lol love it!!

[mystiqueswish]

HE CHEESE, OH THE CHEESE! xD

Kudos to the actors in this, they really make the video shine ♥

I'm speading this to other ALT's to share and enjoy the pain of being forced to use this in elementary schools.

And it definitely needs at least 1000 hits :D

[Kakarotsan]

That was AWESOME!

[mayflyillusion]

This video made my day. I was just teaching from Eigo Noto this morning... everything is better now.

[MikeSkullman]

Burn in Hell, Eigo Noto. Funny video though.

[magesticbaby]

HAAAAAAAAAA! Best thing ever. Loved the blue shirt guy, he has the most amazing expressions. Definitely showing this at an enkai!

[shortnsuite3]

If I can stop crying from laughter enough, I'll be able to say that this was The Singular Most Amazing Thing I've Ever Seen In My Life. The only part I don't like is that I still have to teach from this book, and I won't be able to do it with a straight face for the rest of the year.

In other news, you live in Hiroshima prefecture! So do I! Is there a part 2 in the works, or would you be interested in a collaboration? XD

[francol86]

@shortnsuite3 HEy, thanks for the comment. Actually didnt live in hiroshima prefecture. I lived in Okayama, but Im actually not living in Japan anymore. So, unfortunately, there wont be a part 2 :(

[RyougaSaotome]

As a current JET, this is quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[giuliafelix]

Brilliant!

As a recently returned JET, I am happy to saw that I haven't heard all of those tracks before! :)

[kittybadcat]

brilliantly done! now to get all my shougakkou teachers to watch it too ^^

[wonkavision]

I'm not going to be able to teach these now without cracking up. Hilarious. What's this? What's this? It is a pencil case!

[kidethnic]

You rocked this. If this doesn't blow up huge, there is no justice.

[sarumitai]

I love this since I hate the book so much.

[saturn117]

This is AWESOME!! After suffering with that book for so long, I feel like justice has been done. Nice work!

[lpick047]

Ahh you finally put it up!

It's absolutely brilliant, great job!

[xelan84]

This is the funniest video ever!
