Hello... Anyong.... Gudentock???

I have a German kid in one of my intensive classes!!! Seriously... My co teachers didn't tell me anything, except "This Simon kid is kind of ...troubled.." No mention that he only speaks German, not Korean or English! I met his mother outside of class and she apologized for his behavior. I asked her what his English name is and she responded with "he doesn't have an English name, that's why he's here, to learn English." I later find out his name is Simon, that sounds like English to me. He is a good kid, but he is easily bored and distracted. I kinda like having another European person in the room. Now I am not the only one they stare at!
