The "Stoeic" series published by Hanaro Education. Some examples taken from within the pages of one book:

"She likes to use machine."

"When are you going on treasure hunts?"

"What is another treasure hunt?"

Q. "Why does the woman think they should leave early?"
A. "To get good condition for treasure hunt."

Q. "Can we have the biggest dream?"
A. "True"


The title of this book is not "Treasure Hunts", as you might expect, but "In the kitchen"! My students are leaving in droves and I don't blame them.

Anyone think they can beat this in terms of utter drivel?

I must buy it, and use it as examples of bad English. Why wrack my brain to make them up, when I can just open to a random page?
