Monday:
My Beginner class is learning how to talk about feelings this week, which means we mostly talked about dogs. Being with dogs make them happy. Seeing abandoned dogs makes them sad. Getting a dog makes them excited. Simpler times.
Advanced class is learning about household items; Conversation class is learning about cooking. No dogs there.
Later, I explained (for what must be the thirtieth time) that “soup” has a U sound. The Spanish equivalent, “sopa”, has a long O sound, and as a result, multiple students from all three of my classes keep telling me that they love eating soap. It happens at least once a week. We had a similar discussion about sweets and sweats last week (on a somewhat-related tangent, I’ve been talking to a girl on Tinder who’s name is Sweet [which presumably a nickname], but there’s a non-zero chance that if I meet her, she will tell me her name is “Sweat”, and I’m not quite sure if/how to address this if it comes up…).
As a side note, I did finish my Foucault book on Saturday and will have a review up later this week, just as soon as I can think of something original to say about it. I haven’t forgotten.
