It makes you feel great about yourself as a person, and also extremely happy to be alive and in that particular situation. This is now my entire day, all day, except for the time when I'm teaching classes. Just being used as an English reception device. Never mind the lesson plans I need to get done.I'm no Picassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516337555349888808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-65500274375758028422011-03-14T22:14:51.186+09:002011-03-14T22:14:51.186+09:00I once got monopolized by a student's mom, who...I once got monopolized by a student's mom, who took me to a hotel lunch buffet (sweet) in order to apologize for her English, trot out the rehearsed comments she'd planned on various current events of the day, and manipulate the conversation in order to pound the table and shout the "101 English idioms" she'd learned from a book, and been practicing.<br /><br />It was very droll... but it was one morning, and hey.

Do you think that Korea's divorce rate is low because of Korea's family values? I mean, it's lower than your country, isn't it? I'm just asking because you seem very smart, so I think you can explain American disappeared family values to me. We could talk about it together with some coppee. I want to be your best Korean friend.Roboseyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308196436612993379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-33037001292458623832011-03-14T15:42:32.159+09:002011-03-14T15:42:32.159+09:00Your sense of humor is extremely clever.

How can I say ... you blend irony and satire together very well. I heard that in the U.S., you drink a blended drink, what's the word? How can I say? I want to try your foreign drink.
