- I started studying English in middle school and continued studying throughout college. I even went to private academies at night. I have a pretty good vocabulary and a strong grasp on grammar, but I have trouble in conversations and in writing. I feel my English hasn't improved a bit despite many years of studying. What should I do?2. I would like to lose some weight because I think it would make me look a bit younger and healthier, but I just can't stick to my diet. Whenever I see or smell something good I just have to try some!3. I'm too forgetful. It's very embarrassing when I don't keep an appointment or can't remember someone's name. I don't think I am any less intelligent than other people, and I'm not absent-minded, but I just can't keep simple things in mind. How can I improve my memory?4. My worst habit is overspending. I simply can't save anything. Whenever I see something I want, I buy it even if I know I don't need it and can't use it. If I run out of money I just use my credit card. I can't stop myself. Help!5. I know that very soon I'll strike it rich and never have to work again, so I buy as many lottery tickets as I can. I am convinced that this helps my odds tremendously. But so far I'm losing a lot of money. Do you have any idea for me?6. My boyfriend is always late for our dates. If we are supposed to meet at 6:00, I'm lucky if he shows up before 7:00. If I get tired of waiting and leave, he gets angry at me. What can I do?
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 '~하는 것을 추천하다'라는 구조 때문에 영어에서도 recommend 뒤에 to부정사를 쓰기 쉽습니다. 하지만 recommend는 목적어로 사람을 바로 취하지 않기 때문에 recommend + 동명사(-ing) 또는 recommend + that절(주어 + 동사원형)을 써야 합니다. suggest, advise(사람 목적어 없이 쓸 때)도 같은 규칙이 적용되므로 조언을 줄 때 특히 주의하세요.
한국인 학습자들은 had better 뒤에 to를 붙이는 실수를 자주 합니다. 이는 ought to, need to 등 다른 조언 표현들과 혼동하기 때문입니다. had better는 조동사처럼 쓰이므로 반드시 동사원형이 바로 뒤에 와야 합니다. 다이어트, 기억력, 과소비 등 실생활 조언을 할 때 had better를 자주 쓰게 되니 꼭 기억하세요.
조언할 때 자주 쓰는 'How about ~?'과 'What about ~?' 뒤에는 반드시 동명사(-ing)가 와야 합니다. 한국어의 '~하는 게 어때?'를 직역하면서 to부정사를 쓰는 실수가 매우 흔합니다. 과소비 습관이나 다이어트처럼 실질적인 조언을 줄 때 이 표현을 정확히 쓰는 연습을 해보세요.

Is This True?1. People say a first love is never fulfilled. Why do they believe that? What is so special about a "first love" that makes it such an impossible delusion? What about you-do you think it is true? Why or why not?2. According to an old saying, there is no dutiful son in the face of his parents' long, hard-to-cure disease. By extension, this applies to a spouse as well. Do you believe this top be true? Or are you critical of those who think so?3. People believe appearance is more important than character. If you dress up it will make a better impression on other folks than if you dress casually. If you drive a sedan, you will get better service at a hotel than if you drive a compact. And so on. Do you agree?4. Money talks. People who have a lot of it generally find it easier to gain social advantage than those who are poor. Right? That is why it is said, "Money can do everything" and even, "Money is everything." Money can buy everything even love. Do you agree?5. Do you believe the old saying, "Easy come, easy go"? It means that something that is easy to obtain is not easy to hold on to. If so, why? IF not, why not?6. A lot of people still seem to think sons are more important than daughters. This idea goes way back in time to when sons brought humor and income to the family, and carried on the family name, while daughters meant a lot of expense but no permanent investment since she went off eventually to some other family. Do you think so too?
