Well, raise your shirts.

Here is a excerpt from a role play for students. It's from the lesson plan book I am using for summer camp:

At the Hospital
Doctor: What's the matter?
Patient: I have a terrible headache.
Docotr: Do you have any other symptom?
Patient: I have a cough and my nose is running.
Docotr: When did they show?
Patient: One week ago.
Docotr: Well, raise your shirts. Um...I guess you caught a flu. Dont worry I'll give you an injection. I'll prescribe medicine for you. You have to get some rest. Then you'll get over.
Patient: Thanks.

Yes, English learning is a huge goal here. Everyone works really hard to make English happen! Also, I think docotr's here are obcessed with injections. It's kind of weird.

I have one student, a big fat kid, who loves to yell, "I am so crazy!" at the start of his class. It makes me laugh. I need to take his picture, but I don't want his friends to get jealous. That is the only thing he can say really well. "I am so crazy!" Yell it once, it feels kinda good. Now do it with a Korean accent! Feels even better, right? I know, it's weird.

I find myself saying more and more words with a Korean accent. I say all my advance class student names with an accent. You just have to add syllables. Example, Mike becomes "Mic-uh", Steve becomes "steve-uh" Melissa becomes "Mar-e-ish-e-a" Now, let's try some of your names:

Brooke = brooke-uh
Andy = An-uh-dee
Amy = Amy-uh
Sean = Se-un
Jessica = jus-ca (for some reason, yours gets shorter)
Matt = Ma-tuh

I tried to name several boys Doug, but none of them liked it. They all picked names like; Tevin, Kevin, Sevin, and another Kevin. I actually named a kid Monkey, but I looooovvvveee him! He is so cute. He wanted to be called Monkey, just so you know.
I am going to a mud festival this weekend. I will be caked with mud. Hooray!
