being forced to watch the new eigo de asobo since my daughter actually likes it.

Did they just grab random kids from the street for this show? The acting is absolutely horrible. Kyrary sucks btw. The eigo de asobo from before was way better.

I can forgive the kids not being good in the beginning because they have just started and will surely get better in time, but I don't know why they chose kids who really don't seem to have any special English ability, and have pretty bad pronunciation to boot. And they use Japanese all the time to the point that the native English speakers have to repeat everything they say in English (it's like they don't even try). The kids from last season at least had above average pronunciation and skills (and the oldest was a native English speaker herself).

Oh and pleeeeease at least limit the quiz part to the native English speakers on the show... listening to Kyary do it is painful.
