Anyone have a beautiful little gem of an idea they would like to share of a simple way of explaining the concept of "context" - in context/out of context.

First year high school students...

Thanks

If you are talking about words having different meanings in different contexts use a little Korean.

한분 and 일분 have different meanings, even though they are both one bun.

Han bun is one minute, ill bun is one person.

Move from there to the next one,

일년 and 한년 and , but dont say them, the first means one year, the latter, one bitch (I think).

They will then get the idea of context changing the meaning of words, because they already get it.
