Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ "My job is marketing."
✅ "I work in marketing." / "I'm in marketing."

한국어에서는 "제 직업은 마케팅이에요"라고 자연스럽게 말하지만, 영어에서 "My job is marketing"은 어색합니다. 영어에서는 "I work in + 분야" 또는 "I'm in + 분야"라고 표현합니다. 구체적인 직책을 말할 때는 "I'm a marketing manager"처럼 관사와 직책을 함께 사용하세요.
