MATT KUCHAR
"TESL Teacher"

Matt Kuchar

 

 
The scene: A classroom with Japanese students learning English as a second language.
 
 
"Ohayō class, today we are going to learn the letter "K".  Please repeat after me. Kids. Kids. Kids."

The students repeat "Kids, Kids, Kids."

"Good. Try to say the word 'kitchen'"  The students, one after another, repeat the word "kitchen" without any problem.

"Now children, let's try a little bit more difficult word: try saying my name - Kuchar." Before he can finish, a student begins speaking. However it is not Kuchar being spoken by the young male student. The student says "Kooch". Kuchar tries to correct him. "No, no, not Kooch. Say Kuchar." Again, the student says "Koooooch."

"OK, how about you?" says Kuchar, motioning to another young lady. Please say my last name, K-U-C-H-A-R", he says to her, carefully pronouncing each letter.

"Kooooooch" says the lady.

A frustrated Kuchar moves on to the next student. The same result.

Quickly, in succession, each student begins saying "Kooooooch" until after a few seconds they have formed a chorus and in one loud voice, they shout out: "Koooooooooooch,"
 

Matt smiles and is dumbfounded - the students obviously know quite a bit about golf and are eager to show it to their teacher. "I think you guys are going to do just fine," he says to the students.
 
"Tomorrow we will start on the letter "L".  See you then." He bows and thanks the students.
 
"Sayanora, class."
