I run an ESL conversation group, so the students typically have a pretty good grasp of the language, and our focus is usually American culture. One women, from Russia, said this: "In Russia, we have tiny apartments and we still dance. In America, you have such big houses but you never dance".

On a related note, in my first semester of Russian my professor was letting us pick our Russian names. My friend picked Vladimir, and she asked him if he would prefer the diminutive, "Volva". She didn't understand why we all laughed and he screamed NO.

Er, that "Finish the Story" prompt seems to be dragging up some stuff for your students.
