오바마 대통령은 영어 선생

 

And speech pattern. In Japan, they have found the perfect English teacher. “Yes, we can. Yes, we can.” His name is Obama. From ABC News headquarters, this is World News with Charles Gibson.

 

Finally tonight, there’s the old saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, if that is the case, hundreds of students in Japan are flattering President Obama no end. That’s because they’re busy imitating him all for a good reason. ABC’s Clarissa Ward reports from Tokyo. President Barack Obama may not know it. “Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can” But he is teaching students in Japan how to speak English. “Hello, Chicago? If there is anyone out there.” Or at least, his speeches are. “Hope in the face of uncertainty.” This is the Obama workshop at the Kaplan English School in Japan. Every week, as many as 200 students attend. “Earlier this evening.” They learn the President's speeches line by line, reciting them to their teacher, Makota Yciyata. “You’re very careful. OK. But let’s make it smoother.”

 

Yciyata has also used speeches by Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy for his classes, but he says his students are particularly inspired by the message of Mr. Obama.” “Through hard work and perseverance.” “Through hard work and perseverance.”

 

It’s no secret that President Obama is very popular in Japan. During the election, there were Obama T-shirts, cookies, even an Obama burger. Obama’s speeches have been a huge success here in Japan. The series has sold more than 600,000 copies. Every book comes with a DVD and most importantly, a glossary to explain terms like Stop Gap Measures to Japanese readers. The students at Kaplan say that while President Obama’s vocabulary can be tough, his delivery makes them easy to understand. “His speech has a passion. And his speech is like a song.” Yciyata knows almost all of Mr. Obama’s speeches by heart down to the cadence and hand gestures. “To win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world. At that time when I first heard this, I almost cried.” It’s a challenge for the students, but they are enjoying learning from both of their teachers. Clarissa Ward, ABC News, Tokyo.
