Jen,
I laughed about what you wrote regarding your Russian teacher. I have an American born friend who took Russian in college and the instructor was actually from Russia. The teacher once asked him "Are you not getting this b/c you're dumb or b/c you're fat?"
When I first started school in the US I said something mean to another boy. I can't remember exactly but it wasn't very nice and he said to me "you hurt my feelings." I looked at him like "yeah, so?"
A bit of a culture shock there.
