new definitions.

one of my favorite classes to teach is my lowest level english class.  super beginner english! (probably because they have more fun. ah, the classes where the students roll their eyes at me just aren't cutting it anymore. if you are taking classes, any class at all, please appreciate the work of your teacher!)

so, today's class was defining new words and their meanings. 

words like: awesome, gorgeous, going out, brilliant, weird

the picture for "weird" was of two men pointing and laughing at this person who had their stomach hanging out and was cross eyed (i'm not joking!). the men were saying "i don't like him. he's weird."

i asked my student what he thought of the "weird" person in the picture, and the student said "he looks fat" and i corrected him and said "he is chubby" 

my japanese male student said to me "ah, yes! i am chubby!" (no, he isn't.) followed by..."i don't like skinny girls. they are unhappy. they want to eat food but they don't! its horrible!" 

haha. i love students like this.
