Things to be aware of when you study a new lanquage. Firstly, you are not trying to buy a can of drink or book a table when talking to your teacher - shouting loudly in English and miming will not help here. Secondly, when he gives you visual clue as to what hes talking about its no use suddenly saying 'oh yes, you mean a pocket' in English. Of course he knows it a pocket you dumbass, your're supposed to be learning a foreign lanquage not showing off your English skills. Thirdly, when the teacher asks you for a new word which you heard the day before do not blurt out the first word in your head, without fail this will be very rude, unrepeatable and you will be forced to spell it out infront of the class. You only have to do this once to be labelled as a deviant. Fourth, when asked what you did yesterday (a common ploy by the teacher to get you talking) do not mention off licences, cake shops, or churches. This will get you a reputation as an alcoholic, fat bastard grave robber - much safer to simply say shopping.
