Throwback story time!
My favorite out of my students' attempts at English spelling?
"Mak.c.ko"
In case it isn't obvious, that's the place that "taccos" come from.

Throwback story time!
Two of my boys were doing a decent job of focusing on their work so I was letting them get away with chatting in Japanese. I am glad I did, because the result was this truly remarkable exchange:
Student 1: 女が男、男が女。(Girls are boys, boys are girls.)
Student 2: 男がうんこ。(Boys are shit.)

Goodbye Christmas
Student: *cleaning up the letters he used to spell Christmas words* Gingerbread man, bye bye man!
#christmas#efl#accidental perfect English#same class his sister said to me#Sensei come here#and when I did the other kids asked her what it meant#and she said she didn't know

I aged quickly.
Student 1 has decided he is the teacher for the day. I am playing along, since he is (mostly) following our regular lesson plan.
Student 1 [in Japanese]: Okay, you are a child now.
Me: A child? But I'm 30 years old.
Student 2: *look of utter horror* You're 30?!?
Me: Yes, I am.
Student 2: You aren't a child, you are an old lady!
#esl#japan#I am obaachan#student 1 still kept calling me a child#at the end he called me S-chan#his mom thought it was hilarious

Further cannibalism
Me: "What is the past tense of 'She eats a hamburger'?"
Student: "She was eaten by her father."
#esl#japan#eikaiwa#I wish that was the worst thing that class came up with#at least it was grammatically correct#if not at all the right answer

The tiniest cannibal
We are playing a game where students have to tell me if small plastic items are "yummy" (food) or "yucky" (not food).
Student: *holding up a plastic nose* Yummy!
Me: Is that yummy? I think it's yucky.
Student [in Japanese]: It's meat!
