Information (no translation!): I have a Turkish man of about 55 year in one of my classes. He speaks Dutch badly - therefor he is at school - and he is so very much stubborn! He sometimes refuses to correct his mistakes because he keeps telling me it is correct and he thinks he knows it all. Most I can handle that, but sometimes I get so fed up with this behaviour. Of course I can tell him to be silent, to stop (or just to shut up   ) but I like to have some ´witty´ remarks in Turkish to ´let him know his place´. I don´t want to be rude or insulting. Anyone ideas?

get another job.

is he fluent enough to send you text messages revealing his love?

but look at it this way, maybe he is really right and you`re wrong. don`t be so stubborn trudy.

Of course! How could I forget, Turks are ALWAYS right, even if they can´t say a three-word sentence without mistakes in MY language. Thanks, Tami, for reminding me this.

he really want to get attention to you... maybe he is your secret admirer...  hehehhe.. just ignore him the more you give attention the more he want to have attention..

no problem. I`m glad you`re now enlightened

but as a teacher she must pay attention to his mistakes. its her job.

tell him "hatasýz kul olmaz"

I think she was talking about me.
