Well at least I amuse myself...

I am starting to realize just how much I sound like a teacher when as soon as I finish a class I want to run out and tell the other teachers about how the class was, who's improving, who drives me mental, and who was most likely dropped on their head as a child. Every once in awhile though I get an amusing story or two.

In one of my grammar classes today I was trying to explain articles and when to use a, when to use an, and when you don't use either. My examples for not using either was with city names so I gave various examples. I said you wouldn't say a Daejeon, you wouldn't say a Pusan (pronounced Busan), and you wouldn't say a Seoul. Well the minute I said a Seoul, I realized what that sounded like. Say it to yourself if you haven't gotten it yet. Fortunately most of the class is so far out of their league that they wouldn't have known the difference between my ramblings about articles from me standing in front of the class and swearing like a sailor. I on the other hand, thought it was the funniest thing I'd heard all day and I know that from this point on whenever I am trying to explain articles I am going to think of that example and have to resist the urge not to keep using it.
