If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there Your hand will guide me.
Psalm 139:9,10

The Importance Of Pronunciation
When teaching ESL, it is very, very wise to stress to your students that the correct pronunciation of the word fork is extremely important. Inadvertently dropping the f-bomb is just no good.
Oh, yeah; ESL stories ... and it works in other languages, too. Ask your pastor about the day he ordered "mixed sh...."; ... and of course, the first thing that Japanese stewardesses ask their passengers to do? "Radies and gentrman? Prease sh** down."

Ooohhhhh...very, VERY important. I must remember that next year. I'm sure that middle school students would never mean to do that on purpose! ;)
