Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ I need to join an insurance.
✅ I need to get insurance. / I need to take out an insurance policy.
한국어에서는 보험에 "가입하다"라고 해서 영어로 "join"을 쓰는 경우가 많습니다. 하지만 영어에서 보험은 클럽이나 단체가 아니므로 "join"을 쓰지 않습니다. 보험을 들 때는 "get insurance" 또는 "take out an insurance policy"라고 표현합니다.
