Conversation Time

I had a couple of great conversations on Thursday. One of them was with a 12 year old called Cindy, who I've taught since I arrived here, and the other was with a random Korean man on the streets of Hongdae.

Two conversations in chronological order................

Thursday afternoon. Kids Herald School, Green Class.

Toby Teacher: Do you know Lee Hyori?
(she is a very gorgeous and famous Korean lady that appears in numerous advertisements)
All: (they corrected my pronunciation and said yes)
Toby Teacher: Well, I'm seeing her on Friday night. She called me and asked me!!
All: REALLY??? REALLY??
Leena: No, He's joking!
Toby Teacher: Yes, I'm joking. But she did call me and I said I was too busy! (I laughed, they didn't)
Cindy: She is good girl, but..
Toby Teacher: But what?
Cindy: She is good girl, she is gooood girl. But your face, your face is....
Toby Teacher: My face is what?
Cindy: Your face is very good, but your face is (she extends her eyes, rubs her chin) very scary!!

Thursday night. Hongdae. On the street.

Korean Man: Hello. Hi. Nice to meet you.
Toby: Hi, how are you?
Korean Man: I'm student. Where are you from?
