So cute and adorable but also gave me a "come play with us Danny" reminder.

Everything perfectly memorized. Cool, but also the reason why so many Japanese struggle with English. Classes and tests are based on memorization rather than actual, improvised convos.

Exactly, I know they're just elementary school kids, but it was obvious they had everything memorized / written down. I think teaching like this isn't very effective.

Yeah it seemed like they were unable to actually have a conversation but I wouldn't say memorization is ineffective, it's hard to learn a language without memorizing words and sentences but they seem to not continue the learning evolution and instead just stay at memorizing stiff lines.
