If only all language lessons were as entertaining as this one

English teacher Mr Yang is like no English teacher we’ve ever encountered before.

On his TikTok account, he shares his Chinese versions of popular English language songs, as well as snippets of the tricks he uses to help his Chinese students with their English pronunciation.

A post he shared last year has gone wildly viral again after being shared on Reddit, and we can see why.

It has more than 30 million views and over six million likes, as well as some real love in the comments section.

For reasons which you can guess at just as well as we can, there was a follow-up TikTok, in the form of a short and very dramatic film clip.
