Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

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

❌ "I can't go to work today because I'm sick cold."
✅ "I can't come in today because I have a cold."

한국어에서는 "감기 걸렸어요"라고 하지만, 영어에서는 "sick cold"라고 하지 않습니다. 영어로는 "I have a cold" 또는 "I caught a cold"라고 표현해야 합니다. 또한 회사에 전화할 때는 "go to work" 대신 "come in"을 사용하는 것이 더 자연스럽습니다.
