Fun with Communication


We always get a good chuckle out of the English t-shirts Koreans wear, names of restaurants and knock-off everything - like the convenient store called CNN with the television's official-like CNN logo.

I appreciate soooo much that Sadie's teachers try to communicate with me the best they can. They just started a daily journal for her and send notes home every day. I'm sure it would sound just as funny if we tried to find Korean translations for English words. Steve and I like trying to make sense of them - it's kind of like our daily word puzzle.

Here's today's journal entry:

March 5

"Her diaper is necessary" (I'm guessing she needs more diapers).

"Her milk needs" (They obviously need more milk).

"Today the feces" (She had a poopy diaper).

"There was a fun today and it lived" (She must have had a fun day, not sure about it lived part).

"She calls a lullaby with Korean" (She enjoys a particular Korean lullaby).

"She is cute" (She is cute!!)

That is so funny! I just took a photo of the translated rules at the new indoor playland that we have been to. I read it to Cliff and we were laughing so hard.

That is so darling. I love how they are trying so hard to communicate with you in English. It will be fun to look back at those daily journals later on. You guys chose a great school for Sadie.
