This incident made me recall an incident a couple weeks ago I'd blocked out. A particularly precocious little girl asked me, 'Teacher, what kind of panty you?' I wasn't sure I heard her right. 'Teacher I have flower, what kind of panty you?' Oh my god. I was like, 'Listen kid, I can't begin to tell you how wrong this is.' She was confused. 'Ahniyah! (NO!)'
The kids here have the best notebooks. The covers are insane and often plastered with disparate bright images, out of context English quotes and then just downright bizarre English. I finally bought a bunch of them today. I present to you my first installment of Korean notebooks, 2 side by side. Chocolate bong bong! Um ~ Smell ~
I urge you to click on the above image and explore closer.
"Remembrancer." The holiday to remember those we lost to cancer.
ReplyDelete"if you make it to dessert and you must prepare yourself for ecotasy" they must be refering to eco-friendly pastrys laced with extasy.
ReplyDeletedark or white? since when is dark a color?
ReplyDeleteI suppose this is debatable. I can understand how translating it can be confusing.
"The answer to this question is one of the most debated issues about color. Ask a scientist and you'll get the physics reply: “Black is not a color, white is a color.” Ask an artist or a child with crayons and you'll get another: “Black is a color, white is not a color.” (Maybe!?)"
