Hi! How are you doing guys
My name is Tatsu, I am Japanese but I found I haven't spoken Japanese for years. I am doing a ph.D cource in South Korea and major language I speak here is English and sometimes Korean for non-English speakers.
I am so used to speaking English in Korea, but just wondered how much my English is Koreanized. I think if we compare average level, Korean students speak English better than Japanese students, because most of Koreans are trying to learn many things from US as they believe US is the most developed country. Many of Korean prof or Dr got their final degree in the states and they are proud of it.
I happened to know many students from many different countries. In my school, majority speak Konglish (Korean English) and many of the others speak Inglish (pronounced English, but it's Indian English)
I am thinking to spend a few years in the USA after I got degree here.
I really really want to learn American English. My English teacher is Australian, she does not like the way I pronounce "calm" and "palm"....... You pronounce "L" right?
I had been working at Dubai till last Dec, I just came back to TOK.
Now I need business English skills, I want to learn new expressions through this community.
Thank you.
