This is why #Chinese is so confusing for the #waijiao (foreigners) – the same character can mean cloudy, moon, feminine, a last name, or genitalia 😂

TESOL Lols: Committee
20 Mar
I recently asked my ESL student to give me the dictionary’s English definition of “Committee” (I teach Business Law to Juniors). The response I got was “a special group delegated to consider some matter and that keeps minutes and loses hours.”
I’m pretty sure my student has no idea what the last part means, but apparently committee inefficiency is not just a joke anymore, it’s official!
