I met my 6 year old grandcousin on the weekend. He began primary school just 2 month ago. He told me they have a thing where a singer comes over to their school and sings in English an Japanese and the pupils have to repeat it without knowing what any word of that means in both of that languages. He could sing complete sentences in them. His pronunciation was really good and he didn’t even know what it meant.
That’s because, like many American adults, this guy can only read at a fifth-grade level.
Pretty sure most 5th grader could read Abdul El Sayed right after the first time they’re told how to pronounce it.
