Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "Let's postpone the meeting to later."
✅ "Let's adjourn the meeting and reconvene next Monday."
한국어에서는 회의를 나중으로 미루는 것을 단순히 '나중에 하자'라고 표현하지만, 영어 비즈니스 회의에서는 상황에 맞는 정확한 용어를 사용해야 합니다. 회의 도중 일시 중단할 때는 "adjourn"을, 다시 모일 때는 "reconvene"을 사용합니다. "Postpone"은 아직 시작하지 않은 회의를 미룰 때 쓰는 표현이므로 구분해서 사용하세요.
