Me, greeting the next class of students in the hall after a 30 minute school-wide blackout:
"Oh my god! Blackout! Can you believe it!"
[Reactions of varied levels of comprehension.]
Me: "Lights! Kkkkch!"
Hangbin (in Korean): "Foreigners [static] better than Koreans."
Me (in Korean): "Foreigners what?"
Hangbin (in Korean): [Repeats.]
Me (in English): "In English... I don't know that word. Foreigners are what.... do what.... better than Koreans, how?"
Hangbin (in English): "Ah.... sound better?"
"Sound better? I don't understand. Try again."
"Make a noise? 아니.... sound.... describe."
Lightbulb. "Ah! You mean this? Kkkkch!"
"Yes!"
"Ah. You think foreigners' sounds are better than Koreans' sounds. I understand. I like Korean sounds though."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Like ㅋㅋㅋ and 'aish!' Or soju sound! KKKKKKKKKKKCH!"
"Oh! Teacher Korean sound good!"
"I am ajeosshi. I know. It's okay."
