I know...


I know my English is stupid. Even though, I was teaching English in Nairobi Kenya. It was free school for poor children. I was volunteering for the school.
Once one of my students told me what he shouldn't say. He told me my pronounciation is terrible. I was really shocked... That's why I decided to revenge. I wrote down hand writing characters. Then asked him if he does understand what I wrote. He didn't understand them. Then I asked him to repeat to write them down in the notebook for 100 times...

First, your English is not stupid. You're quite fluent, I don't know a second language at all, and here you know enough to teach one.

Second, love the pictures and the story was great. I hope the young man learned a valuable lesson from a wise teacher.
