*** UPDATED***
I love learning something and being able to use it or talk about it the next day. Today my students asked me why a "mermaid" is called a "mermaid." I went on to explain to them how English words come from all different languages, and even brought out how Chinese is just Chinese. This knowledge and awareness of language differences unfortunately will not make learning English any easier for my students, but I hope it can at least relieve the headache suffered from trying to figure out why "美人魚" is "mermaid" in English, and not "beautiful woman-fish."
