Yes, I did try to touch my head with my elbow.

No, I couldn't do it.

It's not possible ><

hahaha

zurui song!

And congrats working a job where you can use your English :) I have tonnes of students who would be instantly envious of you! ;)

Thank you for your reply.

I actually wanted to explain to touch just one of the toes...
I want the kids to touch their head and also their one of their toes at the same time, then turn around... it's actually very hard to turn around like that so the kids love it.
So... in that case, how should I say?
"Touch your head and touch your toe and turn around"
"(Touch your head with one of your hand and stay, and use another hand to touch one of your toes and say, then turn around)"
I want to make it as simple as possible...

These are also the same...

"Touch your chin and back, then run run run"
"Touch your head with your elbow and hop hop hop"

*tries to touch head with elbow* Oww...

In that case, "touch a toe" would be better :)

Hi ReakJames, thanks for your lovely reply.

you made me smile (well actually a bit laugh!)... it's been very hard to laugh since the earthquakes and tsunami... I only can laugh when I am with my students, so I really appreciate your fun message)

You know what? some of my students actually can do it, touch their head with their elbow(s)!
I will ask the kids to do it again to take a picture to show you here;)


Yes, I am happy about this job. I like teaching kids, but I hated to work for those greedy Eikaiwa companies... the last one I worked for, they didn't like me to make up funny songs... they just wanted me to take more time to get more and more customers and sell their super boring textbooks and all... so I quit.

well, have a good day RealJames

I see...touch A toe...
so... if I say "touch your toe" doesn't make sense?

How about this case?

"Touch your head and Nanami's toe"
makes sense? Nanami is one of the students.

hello
My students are OK. We didn't have tsunami, cos we live in a mountain, but had some earthquakes, so the kids were scared and I was told that some of them can't sleep alone.

oopsie, my students are coming soon, so I have to go:ywave:

I suppose most of my confusion is due to people having ten toes, so touching your toe could be a bit confusing to follow. In this case, either "a" or "your" would work as long as the kids know what it means.

Sorry for the confusion I cause with my answers :/

I see! Yes, now I understand that ! Yes, 5toes x 2 ! yes!

I totally misunderstood !

I wanted to say touch your (5)toe(s) !

mmm I need more study!

Thanks!

Your English is super good. I love it. And yeah, I had this Korean girl at my school who would sound a bit rude but of course it's a language barrier. Sorry about my typing since I know you're trying to be as good as you can. My grammar is weird all over the place when I type since I project my personality more than my knowledge of the English language if you know what I mean.

*plooka plooka*

hi Rinai,
Is my English super good???
Thanks, but I know there are heaps of things I need to learn...
Learning foreign languages is fun, but hard!
