Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ I work in the headquarters department of the company.
✅ I work at the company's headquarters.
한국어에서 '본사부서'라고 표현하는 것처럼 headquarters 뒤에 department를 붙이는 경우가 많습니다. 하지만 영어에서 headquarters는 그 자체로 '본사/본부'를 의미하는 완전한 단어이므로 department를 추가할 필요가 없습니다. 또한 장소를 나타내므로 전치사 at을 사용합니다.
