I was telling my students about some popular languages in the world. I recommended to them that they learn more than two foreign languages as soon as possible. I talked a bit about Mandarin and how it was different than Cantonese. Shouts came from the students in the form of "konichiwa" and "sushi!" I told them that was actually Japanese that they were shouting out. One girl said, "No it's not! I hear them talk like that at my nail salon!" Knowing my cause was lost, I went back to the lecture at hand.
