Quote from: oglop on September 26, 2019, 07:50:53 ami never understand the people that make a song and dance for open classes. to me this seems like your normal classes are not good enough, so you need to do something "better" than usual. treat every class like an open class. as my old director said in australia, "if you get nervous when i walk in your class, maybe you haven't prepared your class properly"Lol have you ever seen an open class here? It's like a Beauty Pageant at my school. Korean teacher gets dressed up like she's going to get professional head shots taken, the students have practiced the material a million times, no talking, no messing around, NO KOREAN is spoken (hahahaha). It's like another planet.I think Koreans would be disappointed if your open class didn't look any different to your regular ones

Nice story Aristocrat. A few spelling mistakes in there has me wondering does she teach you English privates on Skype? 무라요 up there with Jamsimayo in the waygook.org Korean spelling mistakes chart.
My friend texted me today and said he was gonna get bimbop. I made fun of him so he fixed it to bimpbop.

My co-teacher even bought costumes for us (I had one too ) so we were dressed up like Snow White and Prince Charming for a lesson of 'What does she look like?'. The audience lapped it up, even made me consider a career change!
Erm, I'm pretty sure the story for Snow White was the prince had to kiss her. Do you think there is a chance she did it on purpose? She was trying to initiate something you didn't somehow catch onto? The next year, did she drop a bigger hint making you dress as Ron Jeremy and her as Jenna Jameson? What an open class that would have been.

And tbh going by Aristocrat's (awesome) tale I think we could have gone with any theme possible and she still would have received a standing ovation
Western tourists coming here is still a comparatively novel thing. Obviously if it's an important enough event to make a TV show about it, viewers would rather see Western tourists liking stuff here than slagging it off. Koreans also get a lot of propaganda at school - in particular in English lessons they're specifically taught how to tell foreigners how great Korea is. Hence you only have to mention K pop to a Korean adult and they will tell you apropos of nothing that K pop is famous all over the world. Straight from Middle School English unit 10.
It could also end up like Disco.
BTS would be less annoying if their crazy fans were less annoying imomost kpop fans in general seem pretty nuts
i saw some article the other day and the headline called BTS a boyband. everyone in the comments were going crazy about how BTS is more than just a boyband. they should be called "innovators" or some shit like that, instead of boyband. then there were comments like "well if BTS are a boyband, Nirvana should also be called a boyband". ughhh such drivel. their fans seem weirdly defensive and neurotic
