Lost in Translation

One of the cleaning staff was asking if she could clean up a table a student was working at after school. In my limited chinese I told her that she could. One of my students asked me how I was able to communicate to her when my Chinese is so poor.

Me: Everyone understands 'genius'.
Student: 'Jenese'? What is that, like Jewish-Chinese?
