I love my students. They make me feel like a pop star.
"HALLO!!"
"NATARI!!!"
"I LOVE YOU!!"
"OH! Kawaii!"
"You are beautiful."
That last one and the kawaii one, have been a little over done. I have one boy student about 17 years old, cheery, sweet, smiley... he looks to me like a little Asian Pop Star and I enjoy him to bits because he makes every attempt to speak English with me. BUT he also is also the biggest perpetrator of telling me how beautiful I am. He goes so far as to blow kisses to me in class!
So, I am on a mission. I want my students to be able to express more feeling than the one word expression. Which is hard to do coming from the Japanese language, which is often very vague on things that in English we can be specific on and vice versa.
So, anyone have a suggestion? What can I replace cute and beautiful with?
Thanks!
