선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
Every family is different, with different personalities, customs, and ways of thinking, talking, and connecting to one another. There is no one "right" kind of family. But whether parents are strict or lenient, boisterous or calm, home has to be a place of love, encouragement, and acceptance of their feelings and individuality for kids to feel emotionally safe and secure. It also has to be a source of don'ts and limits.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 가족을 말할 때 "우리 엄마", "우리 아빠"처럼 '우리'를 자연스럽게 사용합니다. 하지만 영어에서 "our mom"이라고 하면 듣는 사람과 같은 엄마를 공유한다는 뜻이 됩니다. 자신의 가족을 이야기할 때는 항상 "my mom", "my dad", "my siblings"처럼 my를 사용해야 합니다.
