dude the OP is American just look at his name bigballah thats american slang not chinese I took Jap. for 1 year and could recite 2 of their 3 alphabets from memory (their 3rd alphabet is like the chinese alphebet, pictographs and there are like 10,000 of them) and now Im in latin and know their alphabet easily any way OP total YDI cuz if youre that bad at the ABCs then you shouldn't have sung them and fail and youre retarded and all that other stuff...zzz

You're right And don't feel bad about learning Russian. As A Russian, I can honestly say that it's hard to learn my language. OP- What do you expect, they are Asians, Asians are incredibly smart.

you know the Latin alphabet? big deal, its basically the same as the English, I'm in Latin too...

Just b/c it's American slang in their name doesn't mean the OP is a native English speaker. American music videos, tv shows, and movies are shown around the world. American slang is probably the easiest slang to learn. And if the OP learned English as a second language, it's not that big of a deal. If not, well, that's pretty bad.

#19, actually, the OP could still be Chinese. Just because they know American slang doesn't automatically make them American.

Ur an idiot for thinking this was their second language.

Not all Asians are smart but most Asian countries teach discipline that's why a lot of motor companies are owned by Asians.

If English is not the native language, then why post in English? You are about as smart as the OP. 'F' both your lives....

All of the posts are in English. It's an English-language web site. Jeesch, talk about a moron. There are people posting from all over the world on this site you Anglo-centric prick. And English is not everyone's first language.

STWODAPOSKI - sounds like a dumb polack to me!

You are wrong on all accounts bud.... The site was developed by the French, the OP is clearly native to English (read 19 comment on the "nick") and my view is not Anglo-centric because I don't have a bias towards the English language.

Even if the OP is not from an english speaking country, he still implies that he knows english better than these kids.

Yes, some random poster thinks this person's alias sounds like American slang so he must be native English speaking. You are naive!!! I don't know why everyone here is so unwilling to give this person the benefit of the doubt, you know nothing about this person other than an alias they chose and the fact that they posted this from China and ****** up singing the ABCs. You can also look at #23 who is Russian, did not type his ******* post in Cyrillic, and formed a coherent English sentence. And look, his alias is awdorable, a take off on an American word, oh no - he must be lying! Xenophobic prick!

Regardless on the topic of primary or secondary language, OP is trying to teach English to these children; there should be no error... especially with the alphabet. BTW insulting me really helps your Wikipedia based argument.

The OP didn't say s/he was teaching the kids English, just that they are 7 year olds who had recently started learning English. They were playing a game that sounds similar to tag and had to sing a song if they were caught. Sounds like the OP chose ABCs as a novelty BECAUSE the kids were recently learning English, but it could have been any song and the OP didn't suggest it had to be an English one. The OP said they are volunteering at an orphanage, not teaching them a language. Talk about a wikipedia based argument. You are the worst kind of ignorant responder on this site. Lacking in compassion, full of assumptions about the OP, full of criticism, and full of shit. Get yourself signed up for a remedial reading comprehension class (an English language one) and then try talking to me again.

That's why this person posted their story here. The person made an embarrassing mistake in front of some 7 year olds, who knew better than they did. My point has been that I don't understand why everyone is so quick to judge and call this person an idiot. They are volunteering at an orphanage, is volunteering a requirement in China? Sounds pretty noble to me. And too many people forget that this is not a US-based website.

skullbuster... sounds like a stupid redneck to me!

first language or not, its 26 letters... if op is volunteering to help 7 yr olds, I don't think its being too judgmental saying (s)he's an idiot for not knowing 26 letters!

LOL EPIC WIN!!!!
