More Names
Sias University
Henan Province, china
November 2015
I’m back in China and working with students at Sias
University. A in the past, all of them
have American names, not because they want an American name but it helps
us. We can’t pronounce their Chinese
names, we tend to butcher the
pronunciation. And we cant remember
these names. So they accommodate us and take on names that we can say.
Most of the students take on a name given to them by their
English Language teacher. But others
have heard something that catches their attention so they adopt that name. In
my class I have a Summer Cool, Doki, Jersey, Monday, Danae, Karry, Eiffel, Baby, Beira, Caia, Fish, Lavani, Lemon,, Skey, Maroon, and
Cheyenne.
