Personal Questions

Yesterday, two students--great girls who are older beginners, maybe 4th grade--wanted to ask me if I was married.  They don't yet have the vocabulary to properly ask that kind of question, but that didn't stop them.

They came up to me in the hallway after class and asked, "Teacher, you [here they hummed a few lines of the wedding march song] finished?"

I didn't understand at first, so I asked them to repeat the question, which they did.

Ahh!  Wow! What a good try at personal English!

When I replied "No" the girls then wanted to ask me if I had a girlfriend, but what came out was, "Do you have love girl?"

That one made me laugh:)
