Yesterday one of my International* students, who had come to office hours, told me delightedly and sincerely that I looked like his grandfather.

He clearly meant this as a compliment, and I received it as such.

Mostly. 😬 😱 💞

*L1 Arabic, if that helps.

#uhOh #students #compliment?

@amyfou I had one tell me with surprise that I was just like a scholar, but female. (Also meant as a compliment, and received as such. Mostly. 😀 Chinese. )
@LingLass nice!
