schlubsays...It sounds to me she's teaching English speakers to speak Korean. So, she's not teaching Koreans to say "cock"... Why else is she asking what's "Yes"?
Oh, and the youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/seemile

Thank you. I made an adjustment to the title and description.

legacy0100jokingly says...Well, this is nothing new to me, being Korean and all. I hear them asking all the time, it's a huge nuisance over in Korea.
PlayhousePalssays...No, I don't want cock and I quit do, er, I mean drinking coke years ago. What else ya got? =o)
MilkmanDansays...This week I taught my first classes with a new set of Thai HS Seniors (the semesters start at a different time here). I always start out by getting a roster with the students' full names in Thai and having them write their nicknames in English, then taking roll call to make sure I am pronouncing the names correctly. There is no set way to write Thai sounds in English, so there is a lot of variation in how to spell things.
Anyway, one boy on the list wrote his nickname as "Kok". I correctly assumed that he wanted that to be pronounced "Coke", but then explained to him that if he goes with the other spelling an average westerner will probably call him "cock" which is rather unfortunate...
In 5 years of being here I've seen a lot of semi-unusual or unfortunate names and nicknames.
Odd: Dollar, Bible, Bird (hordes of those), Blue, Oil, Dump, Bomb, Gun, Nuke, etc.
Unfortunate: Fook, Fluck ("fluke"), Gook ("guck"), Poo, Poopae, Dodo, Porn (loads of this one also), Titee (girls name)
The worst and/or funniest one I've seen was a girl who converted her full Thai name into an English spelling of "Titteeporn Suksonmanee". Considering Thailand's ... reputation, that one is particularly unfortunate, although the actual pronunciation of the surname is more like suke-sawn-MA-knee.
On the flipside many western names translate phonetically into rather unfortunate things in Thai, or are commonly mispronounced into something bad in English. For example, Jim means "pussy" in Thai, Chris will usually be pronounced by Thais as "Clit", etc. etc.
