Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어의 '스케줄이 있다'를 직역하여 "I have a schedule"이라고 하는 경우가 많습니다. 영어에서는 "I have an appointment" 또는 "I have plans"라고 표현해야 자연스럽습니다. 또한 초대를 거절할 때 "I'm sorry, but I can't"보다 "I'd like to, but I'm afraid..."처럼 완곡하게 말하는 것이 비즈니스 상황에서 훨씬 정중한 표현입니다.
