Hilarious!!
After watching Satomi Ishihara’s new drama, Annatsuraro, which offers just two episodes with subs at the moment, I went to look for more of her dramas.
I found this Puzzle, which is 2008 classic. It is a comedy mystery.
It provides plenty of laughs and suspense.
Satomi plays an English teacher in a boys’ school. Unfortunately for the boys, this English teacher is rather inept.
The teacher said she was great friends with Dickens; no she meant his son (when told that Charles Dickens was a 19th century author) 🙂
She also said that English is just a Japanese dialect.
Vocabulary:
Episode 1: Cold is koorudo (to freeze)
Episode 2: Overcome is oobakamon (to overcome the opponent)
Episode 3: Treasure is ‘dore ja’ (which treasure)
Episode 4: Hesitate is ‘he shite ito’ (do I have to fart?)

Though the Sensei is lacking in English, she is not altogether hopeless. She has a keen mind and brilliant at solving puzzles.
