I wish I could say that Kancho isn't real. But sadly, it is... hahaha.< > < > And yes, the "bigu dikku" comments come fast and furious to gaijin. You get pretty desensitized quickly though.< > < > The truly beautiful times are those where, similar to that guy's blog, the students use incorrect words on accident which *completely* alter the sentence - usually making it rather sexual. And the worst part is that if you correct them, you just KNOW they're going to ask why you corrected them...< > < > For example, instead of "When did you come to Japan?", I often get "When did you come in Japan?".< > Answering "Yesterday afternoon" often draws incredulous looks, but it does add some small amount of mirth into daily life.< > < > Another example was when I was trying to elicit the word "dizzy" from students the other day.< > So my example sentence was "If I spin in circles very fast, and then stop, I feel ______.".< > One student's answer?< > "If I spin in circles very fast and then stop, I feel diarrhea."< > < > Not much I could do at that point except to say "Yeah, me too Keiko."< > < > And if you think children are perverted / insane, you should see my fellow Iaido students when we go out on the piss.< > Some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths after 2-3 cups of sake is priceless...< > < > Anyways, cheers for the link Ranvarian. And the heads up on this Aera
