Putting English to use

School is officially back in full swing and my students are doing well. Today a student asked me if they could use my dictionary; looked up a word and asked me to pronounce it. I said "s a vage"- he said thank you; turned to his classmate and said "you are a savage!".

After class, another student comes by and asks me the meaning of "百痴 bai chi"- so I said "idiot". He smacked his friend in the back and said "let's go idiot!"

I thought I was spreading knowledge for development; all they want to do is insult their friends. In a mean way, its kinda cute!

Another class came in and after the lesson of superlatives, a student wrote on the board while I was talking to some of students "Rose is the most beautiful teacher I know"
