Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "Please wait a moment. I will connect the phone."
✅ "Please hold. I'll put you through."
한국어로 "전화 연결해 드리겠습니다"를 직역하면 "connect the phone"이라고 하기 쉽지만, 영어 비즈니스 전화에서는 "put you through" 또는 "transfer your call"이 자연스러운 표현입니다. 또한 "wait a moment" 대신 "hold" 또는 "hold on"이 전화 영어의 표준 표현입니다.
