Um... I've noticed recently that a few of the corrections/answers to questions about learning English have been incorrect. The funny thing is that those corrections were written by native speakers...? I understand that there is almost no solution to this issue except for people to never completely trust the answers they get, even if they are from native speakers.
Our grammar teaching program--in the US, at least--isn't the best, but I still find it amazing when people who put English as a first language in their profile leave answers that seem like they came straight out of Google Translate.
But if anyone has potential solutions to this issue I'll open it up from here on out. ^^; After all, if we teach people this way, how can we expect them to speak English properly? .-.
Hello~ I thought it would be interesting if we shared some Korean phrases that might seem odd/interesting to us English speakers.
For me, I'll share the phrase "네 마음대로 해." Pronounced "니 맘데로 해', you've probably heard it in many songs.
It means something like, "act according to what your heart tells you to do." The sentiment of following your heart is usually something positive in English, so I find it interesting how this can both be used as "follow your heart" and "DO WHAT YOU WANT/GET LOST" in Korean.
Does anyone feel as interested as me by this phrase? Does anyone else have cool/interesting phrases they'd like to share in Korean? Please do so!^^
