Looking for chatrooms to practise my Korean, I came across a few websites with Koreans learning (maybe more precisely, interested in improving their) English.
I've reproduced a couple of the messages here.
Being an English teacher, I can't help but question the rationale behind those replies.
한국어를 연습할 채팅들 찾으면서 영어를 배우는 (보다 영어능력을 좋아지기에 관심 있는) 한국인이 있던 웹사이트를 찾았다.
몇 메시지 여기 복제했다.
영어 교수이므로 이 대답의 이론적 설명을 질문할 수밖에 없다.
Question1 /질문1
I've studied English almost 2years and
I reckon I've tried hard,
but my listening isn't improving.
What can I do?
Response /대답
memorize many words every day -
it's good for your listening.
Another response /다른 대답
it takes time and money to acquire workable English speaking and listening skills.
Question2 /질문2
My level of English is very low. How can I improve it?
(문법적으로 맞는지 모르겠지만 그냥써봤어요!!)
[This might be grammatically correct. I just wrote it!]
Response /대답
If you study regularly, you'll improve.
~~~~~~~~~~
And a few select comments. These are very telling, I feel. Herein lie most of the problems of the way languages are taught and studied in Korea. Most of the notices in the chatroom came across as lacking in self-confidence, uncertain how to go about learning a foreign language, envious of those who are more advanced, and obsessed - obsessed, I tell you! - with grammar and tests.
또는 몇 특선 주석. 제 소견엔 이건 아마 명시한다. 한국에서 언어를 가르치고 공부하는 방법의 문제가 이 속에는 보인다. 대부분의 채팅에 있는 게시들이 자신이 약하고 언어를 어떻게 배울지 불확실하고 더 고등의 사람을 부러워하고 문법과 시험에 (신심깊게도!) 사로잡힌다.
