This quote sounds weirdly like Stefan, but I cannot place it anywhere in the show... Shoot!
My student is awesome :D. Seriously, it's my sixth year of teaching English, and for the first time I got a student with imagination who is actually willing to learn. Now I just need to figure out how do I prepare a lesson on Doctor Who that would be suitable for a ten-year-old, and it won't be easy, since I'm more of a Torchwood fan XD.
Actually I think that the original Petrova was the Original Witch mentioned by Rebekah and Klaus (though I doubt that she was called "Petrova" - it was just Katerina's family name, and when Rose called Elena "the Petrova doppelganger", she ment "Katerina's doppelganger"). It was hinted that both Klaus and Elijah were in love with her, but she must've done something to really piss Klaus off, because he even refused to look at Katerina as a person. So my guess would be that she created the curse (and the doppelgangers of her own bloodline, which is creepy as hell), but she had to wield so much power she died in the process.
*headdesk* Now I remember... Will apply rewatch ASAP.
Klaus/Elena, hmmm... I don't really care? I never thought about it before you asked XD. I'm a horrible person who mostly ships canon only, so in order to even imagine Klaus/Elena I'd have to see them on screen together, and having an actual interaction (not just Hi, you're my doppelganger, I'm totally eating you tonight). BUT! If I were to speculate about Klaus/Elena that would be good for me, I wouldn't like it to be about the doppelganger thing (seriously, both Elena and Katherine have enough of that), more about Klaus being fascinated by the fact that she's such a survivor. Or that she still keeps forgiving the Salvatores. I imagine from the outsider's perspective these are Elena's most remarkable features, and they could attract Klaus' attention.
I'm trying to think of a reason why Elena would be drawn to Klaus, but it seems that my imagination failed me...
I'm not a "real" teacher ;). I'm a university student, and I give private lessons to earn some extra money. In my country there is a popular opinion that you're not really "educated" if you don't know at least one forgein language (Probably because we think that no sane person would ever want to learn ours), and that makes English the most popular subject for private lessons.
I think that is so neat to learn another language! Do you know others as well besides the two? I don't know, it is a challenging thought to me. How early did you start in life learning, pretty early? I heard English is the hardest language to.learn but they are all difficult to me...except for Latin. I rocked at Latin though I'm rusty now.
I know some basic French (unfortunately not well enough to have a conversation :( ), and I used to learn German, Latin and ancient Greek, but I don't remember a thing. I had my first English lesson when I was 5, but I didn't really learn anything; "serious" learning started when I was 11, and when I was about 15 I spoke English well enough to have some sort of conversation. I don't think English is difficult to learn, though... First of all, English is, like, everywhere. I never had to make an sort of an effort to get a movie in English, or a song, or a book (there is an English section in every bigger bookshop in Poland). And then there is fandom. You guys are my 24/7 teachers, because without you I'd be speaking some freaky, bookish, Victorian English. School won't teach you to swear, or 100 expressions for "I'm angry", or 200 expressions for "to have sex" XD. Besides, English itself is not that difficult, at least for me. True, it's not very similar to my mother tongue (Polish has an insane number of inflectional endings, many

Okay, so I get to ask you a question now, right? Do you have any theories on the original Petrova and her relationship with the Originals?
