I’m OK, yea.

When I go through the tedious lesson that covers “How are you?” in which I teach students alternative ways to ask and answer that question, I usually open the class with: “Morning! How are you?!” The near universal answer is the automated “I’m fine thank you and you?”

Boring, but interesting, because I then turn around and write on the board what they just said, i.e “I’m pain tenk you an new?”

I was a bit bored and was wondering how I can write this to be a more accurate version of what they actually say, and this is what I came up with. I present to you the accurate version of student speech…

Me: “How are you?”
Students: “I’m pine 10 Q N new?

I wonder if I can write a book like this?
