This Funny English Book Will Never Help You at School. Never.

For many in Japan, English is a hard language. Most textbooks are dull. Not this one.

Titled English Words That Don’t Appear on Tests (試験に出ない英単語), the book is packed with ridiculous words, phrases, sentences, and photos that will never help you on any examination. But they might make you giggle. For example?

These are even better if you aren’t a student and already understand English! And the wonderful illustrations by Chino A totally sell the ridiculous sentences.
