...The Fox & The Christmas Tree

 The school's decorations.

As an English teacher, I had two unforgettable experience (so far) with my adorable students.

The other one happened before Christmas while I was teaching them Christmas Vocabularies, like candy cane, Santa Claus & Christmas tree. Our school put decorations just outside their classroom, so one time we went there in order for them to easily grasp the idea & for a "real-life thing" experience.

When I was pointing to them where the Christmas tree is, one student boldly shouted: "Ms. Eve, mai chai Christmas tree, Christmas four chai mai kap?"(Ms. Eve, not Christmas tree but Christmas four, right?). 

I laughed really loud & explained to them that Tree & three are different, the Thai teachers also help me to explain it to them.

It so happened that the school put four Christmas trees together so that makes him confused. Makes sense though, it was a lot for a 3 year old EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learner. Smart kid!

Another story happened just today during my after school class (Kindergarten 1 between 3-4 years old) when I was reviewing them their letter X vocabularies. One of the words was FOX, and note that Thai people was not used to  pronounced "S" at the end of the word. I ask the students if what is the picture, they answered me confidently & as loud as they could: "Fuck". I can't stop laughing & let them repeat the word after me, but they keep on saying "F***".

Well, after 5 minutes of letting them repeat the correct pronunciation of the word they got it at last!

Cute little kids, the good thing is no one hears them shouting it!., LOL
