Just A Few Words:
Boy am I a sucker for cutesy songs.  But anyway, I wanted to know what "BuBiBu" meant.  Translations around the web suggest "to accidentally touch" to "brush up against" but it sounded kinda wrong so I asked my friend 민언니.  She said it's just a cutesy "word" that doesn't actually have a meaning.  Kinda like the jabbering you'd make at a baby ("goochie goo") or, in her words, "what does the fox say? Ger-ding-a-ding..."

English:  10 / 10
The few lines of English were well pronounced and grammatically correct.  Thank you A Cube Entertainment for not keeping the only English speaker...

Just a Few Words:
Ah, Apink.  I just love this group!  Much like 4Minute, sadly, they are basically "Eunji and the Back Up Dancers".  Lately, however, both Naeun and Namjoo have been getting attention.  But, of course, my favorite member (and the only one I knew besides Eunji, before Naeun and Namjoo got more attention), Yookyung, got kicked out! T-T

English:  9 / 10
So the two lines Yookyung says are perfect (why, Apink, did you kick out the one member who's good at English????).  I took off a little for "MY MY MY you're MY" because it really doesn't make any sense.  "you're my..." what????   Elephant?  Pet?  Boyfriend?  Grammatically, I think it should be "mine, mine, mine, you're mine", but it doesn't have the right flow.  So, I only took one point off.
