English is a very difficult language, even for native
speakers.
In this class, I want to talk about some common areas
in which Koreans tend to be confused.

We will also talk a little about “Konglish”.
Konglish is fine in Korea, but foreigners probably won’t knowwhat you’re talking
about.

“Window shopping” is a common phrase in
America.
It means looking at items in stores without
buying them.

“Eye shopping”, to an American, sounds like
you are buying eyes.
