“Teacher, how do you say arepa in English?”
I have worked in the Santo Tomás University for two years now, and lived and worked in Tunja, Colombia for almost three. As a foreigner I get asked many questions by my English students. I love questions! I especially love questions about my country, my culture and the differences between England and Colombia. The first one is usually, "Teacher, do you have a girlfriend?" I always tell my students that if they can ask me a question in English, I will always answer their questions. Probably the second most frequently asked question is:
“Teacher, how do you say arepa in English?”
