Today in one of my classes, one of the phrases that the students were repeating after me involved the word 'bad'. One of the boys said it quite loudly several times, making him sound rather like a sheep: baaaad baaaaad. I laughed and said this, but the joke was somewhat lost because in Japan sheep say 'me' (short e sound). This started the class on a brief tangent of what sounds various animals say in Japanese and English. Apparently Japanese cows say 'ma'. And the kids got quite a kick out of my impression of a chicken.
Pretty much the only exciting thing that happened in an otherwise really boring school-day.
