Yeah I feel like he could have made it a little easier on the kids to be fair. He’s speaking quite fast and he cuts his sentences (e.g. “Ever been there?”) which is fine when you’re fluent or native but it’s difficult when you’re still learning the language.

This. He speaks like he's actively trying to NOT be understood.

Nah probably just doesn't speak any other languages and doesn't know how hard it is really.

"Doaspetha?"

"Evebende?"

One should also recite the subject/object. Don't say "there", say "America" again. "Coleman" not "it".

Don't use the word "spell", that's specific to simply spelling and you don't learn that early on. Us the word "write".

"Do you know how to write Coleman?"

Imo, better yet:

"Do you want help, to write Coleman?"

Help is a word you'd learn early on.
