Jack Ma is China’s English-language expert who turned his expertise into alibaba.com, the world’s biggest e-commerce site whose mission is to sell the products of 32 million small Chinese manufacturers to the world—in English.

One of the English-learning techniques he copied was “Crazy English”, which Gordon Dryden, in his blog piece, described as a cross between karaoke, revivalist religion and American self-development guru Tony Robbins.

The Spanish translation — by one of Dryden’s Mexican educational associates, Mariana Cortes, includes a video clip of Chinese students learning “Crazy English”..
