One Point English Lessons

I dont know if this is a joke or what, but this is one of the funniest videos I have seen in a long time. I guess this is the English all Japanese girls need to learn first... There is a whole series of these, just search youtube to find them - they get deleted and reuploaded pretty often, so it is no use to post them all here for now... Enjoy!
