WRONG, Try Again!

We got a toy computer for our nephew for Christmas. When we put the batteries in it and he started playing with it we all noticed the strong Chinese accent of the woman speaking on the computer. We also thought it was unusual for a toy, to say "Wrong, try again" when he hit a wrong key. I guess we are used to "sorry, try again" or just "try again". Plus we struggled to understand what some of the letters where that the computer was calling out because of the accent (note this says English Learner at the top of the computer).
Our nephew didn't care... this was grey and looks like everyone else's computer which is why his mom asked us to get this particular one. He thought he was all that having his own lap top just like everyone else.
Plus saying "wrong, try again" became entertaining when said with a chinese accent at the right time....
