From a student evaluation: “Thanks to Professor Clarissa I found out that there are countries not only in North America but in South America and elsewhere.”
I’m guessing that the student was trying to say “there are Spanish-speaking countries.” Or maybe s/he really just discovered that there are countries on other continents, who knows.
This cannot be the first time you encountered someone that believed (either in an abstract or genuine way) there weren’t any other countries. Maybe it was the first one you educated? How was her Spanish?
