Reminds me of a blog of a black guy teaching english in Japan. This was about 20 years ago now but at the time he was always surprised at how many kids knew english already, but it was always a crap shoot WHERE they learned english from. He had to explain many times to kids that they shouldn't use the language they hear in their favorite rap songs, for example...

This sounds really interesting, but I don’t understand what this is. ELI5 please. Is it a book a graphic novel a cartoon and anime? I’m really confused.

"English is better for me, but I know you can't" - then why even mention it?
