Halfie Gets a Verbal Sucker Punch · 24 September 04
Some words take a lot of work to explain to people who do not speak your language. ‘Boring’ is one of them.
This week I stood in front of a 40-person English class that was stuck on that particular word. No one had heard of it.
But I explained it without resorting to the Japanese dictionary. I busted out crazy examples of it’s use. I did wacky charades. I was on point, and I knew they were hearing me.
Which made me feel pretty good.
I called on a student to prove by example how well the class was going.
“Can you tell me one thing that is boring?”
She paused. She stared into space. She turned her head left, then right, then up towards the ceiling.
She looked me in the eye, and smiled an innocent smile.
“The class?” she said.
Ouch. Oh no she didn’t.
