Before my last class started, my student Ethan came up to me as I sat in the front of the classroom and kissed me on the cheek! Aww, so cute!
Then he said to me in Shanghainese, "Do you speak Shanghainese?"
To which I responded by turning to my TA and saying, "What did he say, Betty?!?"
I told him that I did not and he went to sit down.
A couple seconds later, he spoke to Betty saying in Shanghainese, "I wish she [me] spoke Shanghainese, because I don't like foreign languages. [Pause] I wish you [Betty] spoke French and she [me] spoke Shanghainese!"
Shanghai Qingyi Kindergarten aka QY, Qibao (09.18.2010) This was taken the second time we did bookwork in the Grade 2 classes. Ethan is the one at the top, center.
