Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make when introducing themselves.
자기소개를 할 때 한국인이 자주 하는 실수입니다.

❌ I graduated Seoul National University in Business Administration.
✅ I graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in Business Administration.

"graduate"는 자동사이므로 반드시 "from"이 필요합니다. 또한 전공은 "in" 대신 "with a degree in"으로 표현하면 더 정확합니다.

❌ My hobby is watching movie and listening music.
✅ My hobbies are watching movies and listening to music.

세 가지 실수가 있습니다: 1) 취미가 여러 개이므로 "hobbies are" (복수) 2) "movie"는 가산명사이므로 복수 "movies" 3) "listen"은 자동사이므로 "listen to music"으로 전치사 "to"가 필요합니다.
