Poster proves that DU can help improve English in hours
Starting posting just a couple of hours ago in broken English and sporting a profile showing he lives in Japan this poster's English improved through constant interchange with various interlocutors at DU.

As his English improved we finally began to understand what he was talking about.

That's when he got his Pizza

Here is one of his earlier efforts: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8598576&mesg_id=8598576

Here he is arguing with Grovelbot: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8597637&mesg_id=8597854

Here he is catching on to the troll thing: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8598661&mesg_id=8598670

Here he is understood and served piping hot: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8600872#8600968

7. My favorite was that he thought he could win a debate against Grovelbot.
He perished the thought. :rofl:

8. Good. He was trying to be stealthy and slick. What a loser.
Glad he got served some granite for his efforts.

There's a couple more trying to be slick too - keep an eye peeled as they'll trip over themselves soon enough.

12. There was a remarkable convergence of the usual Obama-hating troll defenders
And experts in second-language theory.

It was all very compassionate.

:rofl:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=post&forum=132&topic_id=8600526&mesg_id=8600526

I mean, I doubt if Countdown is shown live in Japan at the exact same time it is in the US!

20. I just posted accidentally on the original thread
that the truth is, Keith Olbermann and his guests speak fluent Japanese, and they provide a Japanese translation of what they just said in English during each commercial break on Countdown, which you can see if you have the "special" equipment like our little friend does.
