Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "I will keep my fingers" (시험 잘 보길 바랄게)
✅ "I'll keep my fingers crossed for you."
영어 표현(expression)은 단어 하나라도 빠지면 의미가 완전히 달라지거나 통하지 않습니다. "keep my fingers crossed"는 하나의 완성된 표현이므로 반드시 통째로 외워야 합니다. 한국어의 '손가락을 꼬다'처럼 직역하면 어색하므로, 표현 전체를 하나의 덩어리로 기억하세요.
