Funny Things Said

Sometimes working with ESL students can have its humorous moments. This week were two instances that allow my student and I to laugh while learning.

One instance involves a man who also speaks Russian and gets the "V" and "W" sound confused sometimes. He read from the book, "Rebecca covered her face with a whale."

Another student was trying to thank me for helping him with this English course when he said, "I will pay you back for this curse."

Each of these students got a good laugh out of the errors when it was explained to them.
