When your English Language lesson plan is prepared by a non-native speaker…

Today’s idioms were

“Don’t quit your day job”

and

“When pigs fly.”

Really?

Not only did I have to teach what these expressions mean,

I had to warn them not to say these things because they are insults.

In other words, it was a wasted class session.

These expressions are very nuanced.

Nuance is an advanced concept.

Today’s students were beginners.

I sure hope they don’t come back to class tomorrow with a black eye.
