Defining google - paula
My sister teaches foreign students English. She has a lot of Asian students in her classes since she is based in New Zealand.
One of her Japanese students had just recently arrived in the town and was looking for a house to rent. My sister asked him how he was settling in. His answer: “Everything not so good. I like new town but I google no house.”
After much confusion and deciphering – my sister explained…you do not ‘google’ for a house to live in, you ’search’ or ‘find’ one.
