One of mine: "Medusa, hair good. Like yellow snakes."

A friend's: "I like very fun in meth class."

Another friends: "I would like to make a pleasure date with you. Let's make a party using alcohols."

advanced business student -

director: i think living in an amish jail would be quite nice...comfortable.

intermediate student -

"you don't have a boyfriend, do you?" [when i countered, "why do you think that?", they answered...] "because you look lonely."

low level student:

i had the students fill out a card with their favorite food. one boy drew a woman with cupcake breasts and cherries for nipples. i asked him why he put that down as his favorite snack, and he replied, "it's deliciousness!"

From a co-teacher, which makes it even funnier:

I asked about the Maeil milk commericial where the figure skater is drinking that hugh carton of milk by herself. I was wondering if it was only milk or if it was some protein drink or something. She said:

"It's just milk... and the girl's body is very small so the milk carton just *looks* very big next to her."

I was practicing PP exercises with my students asking them, "Have you ever kissed a boy/girl?" when I flubbed up the sequence.

The boy looked up at me and said, "Teacher, I'm not the gay."

A 13 year old boy, charged with using the vocabulary word "mysterious" in a sentence, wrote, then read to the class: I have mysterious balls.

On my first day teaching at this hagwan, a boy in the fourth grade said to me, "Teacher I want you to drink beer with my dad." I was stunned.

On learning me, a Canadian, and my wife, a Korean, were having a baby:

Student: "Teacher, be careful. Half Korean, half no Korean baby very [makes crazy signal with finger] ... not good head"

Me: "Ha...." cut short as I scan the room to see other students laughing but only see kids nodding their heads in agreement.

1st grade middle school boy, introductory class

Me : "How big is Australia"

Student from back of room : "As big as your *beep*!"

very flattering and all, but I'd need a magnificent pair of pants to hold that in, and I think my wife would have some interesting comments too

"Teacher, do you know transsexual?"
How the heck does an eight-year old kid who doesn't know much English, know that word?

You might've noticed sometimes Koreans make pluralisation errors, such as tests->testes. I've seen it a few times, but this is the funniest instance:

"Today wasn't a very good day because I have 4 testes today."
