Penpals
08/09/04

We love Engrish so much that we thought we should share some more of it with you. We looked through a listing of penpals in Tokyo of all ages, both male and female and found some rather interesting ads. Sure, they live in Tokyo and aren't native English speakers. Yes, they're trying their best. So, does that give us the right to make fun of them? Of course it does! Keep in mind that these ads have not been edited at all.

I am the youth in his teens who lives in a city called Tokyo in Japan. The main hobbies are movie appreciation and music admiration, often see an overseas movie and often listen to overseas music. It is unacquainted to fashion and an old thing is liked. I will speak about a hobby, a custom, a language, and various things, and will exchange information! "Let's make friends with me!"

He is the youth? Great! I was wondering who that was. I'm glad he specified which Tokyo. I love how he seals the deal with "Let's make friends with me!"

Hello. I call it KAORI. He likes going to live near Asakusa in Tokyo and to see a temple and a shrine. Families are a mother, me, a younger brother, a younger sister, and two dogs. Hobbies are seeing a travel and a movie, seeing theater, and writing a novel. Although English conversation was not so its favorite, it thought that he wanted a foreign friend and it registered. The school of English conversation is frequently gone once per week now. It is glad, if it speaks about the talk of a hobby etc. variously and friends can be made.
Thank you for your consideration.


Poor Kaori keeps refering to herself as both "he" and "it".
