The most pedestrian thing in English can seem significantly more sincere when said by a foreigner.

Case in point: A bunch of guys from France came to the dropzone to do tandems. Afterward they all filled out the first-time student survey.

The guy who was with my boyfriend wrote this:

Q. What did you think of your instructor?

A. Gentle being. Peaceful dude on top of clouds.

That's one of the most spectacular things ever said about him.
