How do you say ___ in Korean? 2. How do you say ___ in English? 3. What does ___ mean? It helped me to print these on big strips of paper and post them above the board in the classroom. When a student cries out, "KOREAN TALKING SAY!" you can just point at sentence one until he says it correctly. Soon the whole class will be using these sentences everyday, you can take the sentences down off the wall, and you will be "GENIUS TEACHER."
