I teach English at a local school. I’ve mentioned it before, in fact it was in my last post :-).
The kids say some priceless things to me.

French kid #1: (in French) ‘Why don’t you speak English to us all the time?’
Me: (In English) ‘If I spoke English to you all the time would you understand me?’
