I'd say I picked up maybe half at most, not as much as I would've liked. :p Ha ha ha, sorry I misread your comment too. I’d say I picked up maybe half at most, not as much as I would’ve liked. :p

I was trying to ask you how much of the video could you make out aurally, if you could hear her pronunciations? I know you've mentioned in the past that you still need practice interpreting spoken Japanese, so I was curious how much harder this was. Looks like I should have better proof-read what I wrote.

For what it's worth, that children's song is very cute and the little girl does a good job overall, despite one small but cute mistake. My little one knows it too. Good luck! Hi Kendall,

I basically could only pick out the Kamehameha bits, even with the subtitles. Not that understanding little kids speaking English is much easier. I mostly know Kamehahmeha from the Dragonball anime series, but was also aware of King Kamehameha. I’m curious how much of what she is saying in the video?
