The World Of Teaching & Learning English
[ No Comments ] Posted on 03.30.08 under From The EFL World, Pugs
(and pug haters).
I promise that I will come back and properly work on this website. Make it pretty and all that jazz. But I found another great article that I just have to share and it takes all of 5 minutes.
Plus this hits home right now.
Without further ado, an excerpt from
Once upon a long time ago, I used to teach English as a second language. One of my clients, with whom I focused on conversation, told me that she wanted to get a dog, but it wasn’t working out very well.
“Why?” I asked.
“I want a pug,” she said in her delightful Russian accent.
“Pugs are great!” I exclaimed.
“Yes, but my boyfriend no like.”
I frowned. “Why not?”
“He says,” she said, “pugs not dog. Goblin!”

Love it! Though I of course think pugs are most wonderful and cute, not demon like at all.
