This movie, of course, is a comedy. Often, the comedy is "slapstick" too - meaning, the characters use their bodies a lot to make us laugh.
What did you think of this movie? Do you think it exaggerates how Korean society thinks about English, or is it accurate? Do you think Korea is "English-obsessed"? Can you relate to any of the characters or their situation?
As a foreigner teaching English here, I thought a lot of things were funny. This movie helped me appreciate the difficulties my students face. I also think it shows how a lot of methods for learning to speak in English are not effective. What do you think is the best way to learn to speak English well?

I watched early this movie.I wasn't able to feel at that time the necessity that should study exactly English. But Korean society emphasized more and more English. English abilities such as the TOEIC or the TOEFL etc. shall be excellent to enter it to a good company. But I think the English-speaking world is powerful it can't be helped.
ReplyDeleteTo speak English very well, as shown in the film, in English should be used frequently.
yes. I think Korea is English-obsessed.
ReplyDeleteBecause a lot of people studying English.
In my opinion, the best way to learn to speak
English is first of all, listen to English
second, try to speak English.
how to learn english effectively? i think a lot of communicate with foreigner or native person. and native person is funny person, learning english is more effective. not hard study, natural study is the best way to leran english.
ReplyDeleteCharacters are attend a lecture on English institute for to have a good skill of English. This is common method, but I think watching English movie or drama better than attend institute. Watiching English TV program is try to study language besides it's helpful understand foreign culture.
ReplyDeleteI watched this movie, first just funny. But I think this movis is a satire on society that crazy in English. Recenty many peaple a variety effort to learning English. A society is requirement English. Of course me in difficult English. So I think the best way to learn to speak English is continuous practice. Whatever think is speaking very important.
