So, I was teaching a class on Christmas in the USA (something I think I'll be doing for the rest of my life it seems!). As an icebreaker, I asked the students for their name, age, and what they wanted for Christmas. The answers went something like this:
"Phone"
"Computer"
"book"
"hair straightener"
and then,
"I want an English dictionary."
I nearly choked. "Umm..." I said, holding back the laughter (this is one of the kids who is in love with me) "get the Oxford English dictionary!" SO ADORABLE!
More to follow about my adventures in Strasbourg (and how the guy selling sausages tried to get me to go on a date with him).
I knew that would pique your interest.
