Kids say the darndest things; that’s a constant across cultures. But add a foreign language to the mix and the often twisted humor of Korean children, and they can cook up some really bizarre comments. I’ll save the funny things my kids say in class for another post, but for now I’ll share a few of the things they’ve written during assignments.
The Most Appropriate Use of “F**k” I’ve Seen So Far
In case you can’t read it, the sign in the bottom row says, “Gay Beach”. The stick figure on the left is saying, “F**k”.
It’s the Little Things in Life
Some people want to sky dive, some people want to climb the tallest mountain… This girl is keeping her bucket list simple. I mean, erasers are an important part of life!
There’s Hope for Ugly People
Keep in mind, this was done by a 12 year old… It’s a bit disheartening actually, but still pretty funny.
The Zombie Apocalypse
Zombies really are going to take over the world, even the Koreans know it!
I Have No Idea…
Ladies and gentleman, I give you South Korean middle school students.
hilarious!
Hello Kaleena, I have loved every single bit of that post. I am a teacher living in Malaysia and about to embark on a north journey and would love to work and live in Korea. Your blog is filled with great (and hilarious) insights. The ‘ugly’ problem was indeed disheartening and reminded me of a workshop I gave to korean students and during which every girl spent the class staring at herself on a tiny mirror jewel…weird. Having said that i love them and can’t wait to embark on my Korea-dventure 🙂 merci Kaleena
