This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

Got into the last ten minutes of a class with the rather rowdy 1st year Machinery. The practice dialogue went "What do you think of ______", followed by "I like it" or "I like _____ better", then asking "why" and getting "I think that it's <adjective>" in response. My prior lesson with them had been talking about World Heritage sites, so they had an easy and relevant set of vocab lists to pull ideas from.

They got the idea a lot quicker than my other classes, so I pointed out they could use the format to ask about things that weren't World Heritage sites. Cue "What do you think of this guy sitting next to us".

When I picked volunteers out to demonstrate with me in front of the class, I started asking about types of food, which was how one kid claimed he liked natto because it was "beautiful".



My JTE reckoned that was the first time she's ever heard anyone describe natto as beautiful, in Japanese or English.
