Stuff My Students Say

"I no eat meat.  I eat vegetarians."

"Teacher, what are supplies?" Me: "Things you need to do a job." "Really? So why at birthdays do people always say 'Supplies!!!'?"

"Teacher today I have problem in my stomach. Too much gas." Thanks for sharing. Not really sure how to respond.

Me: "So, do you ever want to travel to South America?" Him "Oh ya ya." Me: "Where do you want to go?" Him: "Los Angeles" 

"Teacher, what is mean 'hang out'? Can I say 'hang in'? How is different from 'hang over'?"

"Teacher, what is pasta?" "Noodles" "Really? Oh, I thought it was the guy who leads my church" LOL (pastor with Kenyan accent)

Me: Do you like to dance? What kind of dance?                                                                              Korean girl: Yes, I like Arabic dance (demonstrates some hip-hop style gyrating)                          Saudi Guy: ((((((((!!??!!))))))))                                                                                                              Me: What do you mean? Arabic is a language, not a dance. Oh...you mean aerobic!                         Girl: Ya ya, Arabic dance!

Me:  "A deck is like a porch, a place to sit outside your house."  Her: (blush)  "Isn't that, you know, the thing that a man has?"
