Love is a key to communication "Love" is a key to avoid misunderstanding when it comes to talking about cross-cultural communication I might learn English by the end of my life. Sometimes, I feel powerless and frustrated when the other person misunderstands what I say or write. I hope that English-speaking friends will appreciate how much I actually invest my time and passion learning English. I am 43 year-old-married woman who is raising three young kids. Additionally, I've been working for about sixteen years. However, I am not simply blaming my busy life, but I have just kept on practicing English. I might not sound that fluent, but I've worked very hard to accomplish a current proficiency level. I try to celebrate that I am learning and growing, but unfortunately I feel very frustrated with the other person who is just upset or hurt about the way I say. I hope she or he will acknowledge my cultural background that end up producing misunderstanding. When I met foreigners who speak Korean or at least try to learn my language, I highly respect that person because I feel that person respect my culture with learning my language. They accidently make many mistakes when they speak Korean, but I’ve never been upset or complain about that because I appreciate his or her efforts. As a matter of fact, I’ve learned a lot from their mistakes when learning English in return. Above all, I started discovering new things about my own language. Overall, it’s my honor to help foreigners with learning my language. When I speak with English-speaking people, I still translate what I want to say from my mother tongue first like other language learners. However, during that process, I sometimes tend to make mistakes that I might end up hurting the other person even though I don't mean that. I feel ashamed of not even noticing that I might have hurt many English native friends in the past due to the lack of language barriers. to be continued
