Korean TV Report: Fun Fun Game English


I think the real question here is what are you speaking of!

A couple weeks back while flipping through the channel I came across this outstanding show. I stopped due to the outfits, but stuck around for the content. You see this program combines the two great pass times of Korean youth, studying English and video games. The premiss is outstanding. The two hosts will watch a cut scene from some English language video game, and then study the bullshit said video game characters spouted out.
The dude is an overseas Korean or a Korean national who learned English really well (the guy's pronuncation is great), and the girl is a Korean national who is learning useful phrases like "We need the light crystals!" And they don't stop there! Once we have mastered said video game phrase, the host will take a phrase like, "We need the light crystals!" and then change it up a little bit (ie. "We need the notebook!" "We need the car!").
The best thing about this show was it taught me why students have told me things like "Good game!" after a class.
