My classes are absolutely adorable. Maybe I'm a bit partial, but I honestly believe that I've got the best classes on campus! They are just sooooooooo precious!! The other teachers make jokes that they're sure I'm going to try to smuggle out one of my kids or adopt a Korean child while I'm here. I really do adore them :) I've had so many funny comments and stories from them thus far and I'm sure there are more to come. Here are a couple that made me laugh:
On the first day of my MWF class we are sitting in a circle at the end of the day getting to know another. One of my students asks if I have a pet- I tell them about Lily and say that she weighs 1kg. They are all like "awwww" then my favorite student raises his hand and says "teacher, I have question? Is this dog delicious?" I about died... my TA reprimanded him and told him how rude it was and then she asked me if I knew they eat dog here. Of course I knew that, but was floored that he'd ask me that!! About 15 mins later I showed them a photo of Lily and he goes "oooohhh!!!! Dog!!! I thought 'quack quack' DUCK!!" Made more sense as to why he asked me if my pet was delicious, LOL. He's still my favorite in the MWF class :)
While describing a Korean theme park to me one of my students told me that when he was on a ride he was telling himself "please god save me!!" I am constantly shocked at their knowledge of english phrases!
"Teacher, teacher. What is your name?""Danielle"(laughter) "Isn't that a boys name?! This is my brother's English name!!"Seriously went through the same thing in all four of my classes. I'm hoping they're finally grasping the whole Danielle vs Daniel vs Danny thing :)
Me: What is a synonym for specific
Student: ...you mean like Pacific Ocean?
Me: I need to pick a Korean name, do you have any suggestions?
Student: Hmmm... what is your last name??
Thought it was so cute that he wanted to take my last name into consideration when choosing my Korean name :) Apparently it doesn't matter here, but he wanted to make sure it sounded nice together.
Me: I looooooove chocolate
Students: (puzzled faces) Then why is your teeth so good?
Yes, why is your teeth so pretty and white if you eat chocolate?
Student: Teacher, do you have boyfriend?
Me: No
Student: Yes, I think you have!
Me: Nope
Student: Oh!! it is a husband then!!
Me: No, not that either
Student: Yes, I think you have!!!
Me: Why do you think I have one?
Student: You have such pretty hair and are so nice and beautiful
LOLLLLLLLLL apparently having good hair is a big deal
"Can you see me?!?! Can you see me?!?!"
One of my most personable and precious kids (total crush on this one!) says this while waving his hands in front of his face and faking a really believable American accent. Apparently wrestling is aired alot over here and he saw it on there, LOL.
