Back to the English teachers on TV...
Looks like most of these mentioned come off Arirang. Anybody seen that show on one of the Korean channels where the host has everybody practicing phrases through chanting? Who's the little bi-lingual (mixed I believe) cutie there? |

There are two shows that comes to mind...The English Cafe one where they do like this strange routine with batons as they chant things like "I can't COME to work TODAY!" as they twirl and spin their batons <shudder> and then another one where they use these scary hand claps and gestures as they chant to the beat of this "house band" that backs the hosts up.
Heh heh...here's my excuse: I only get about 5 channels and sometimes it's just like watching a bad B-movie. 
What's up with using Dilbert cartoons to teach English on EBS? It's all dubbed in all in Korean until they come to some phrase that someone thinks someone else would find useful. Then (and only then) at the end of the show they repeat the original soundtrack three times.

Even worse; whats up with using the Simpsons to teach english (dubbed into korean with no english subtitles) occasionally I'll be channel surfing and find the simpsons, it is such a huge disappointed to hear hangukmal coming out of their mouths. How about some freaking english Simpsons! |

Well on the weekend The Empire Strikes Back was on in Korean, that was funny. For the first time Luke didn't whine everytime he spoke.
Simpsons are on in English on AFN, one of the other channels also has them on periodically.
The other thing is to check when watching foreign programming is the secondary audio channel. SBS in particular usually plays with both audio channels so you can watch the movie in Korean or in English. |

The show I'm talking about is the one with the hand claps. In the spirit of the title of this thread, I'd have to say that the host is one of the most annoying, seemingly arrogant, and to be honest, a bit frightening teachers I've seen. The chants are effective, however, and can be used with great success when teaching the language.
Nobody, however, told me who that girl was. |

| I think her name is Jennifer Macdonald. She is Korean-Canadian. She is somewhat cute, although her teaching style is a bit um errrr yaknow. I know a guy that knows her. I think. Thankfully nobody has mentioned him in this thread......... |

Yes she is obviously American or Canadian or something.
She made me wild one day when she gave a speel about how "Koreans pronounce bother 'bother' and that's not correct, its actually correctly pronounced 'bawther', and its not 'thought', oh no, it's actually 'thart'"
And I'm like 'excuse me?', just about ready to throw the cushion at the TV...that's how cross I was.
Thart? Bawther?
I pronounce 'thought' as 'thought'. and 'bother' as 'bother', and my English is correct too, I'll thankyou very much to observe, dearie! |

Any dark places in Seoul a few of us chaps could 'bump' into "Isaac"?
Sometimes a good thrashing is the only way... |
