A school bus or an asshole boss
I just had the following conversation with a student after class.
Student: Thursday, I come 3?
(our class goes from 2-4 and she must attend as a condition of employement at a hotel)
Me: Why?
Student: Uh, uh, uh Mi baby. Mi baby,uh, aschol boss.
Me: I'm sorry, excuse me?
Student: Asshole Boss. escuela, escuala.
Me: Ah! School.
Student (flustered): Si, siSchool Boss. Bus. Bus. School Bus.
Me: Ok. See you at three.
Student: Thank you, teasher.
I don't know why, perhaps it's a bit sadistic, but I always derive such amusement from situations such as these.

Do you ever cover the subject of swearing? I've always thought that learning to swear competently is one of the finest things a person can do:)
Never in the classroom, but with friends or in informal settings sure. I think it's one of the harder parts of language to learn...swearing is an artform. :D
