A hagwon opened in my old neighborhood and everybody failed to look closely at the name before all the signs were in place.....Haim Engligh Academy.
While having a drink at a bar in Apgujeong one day, a bus drove by with the name, I Spoon English. |
I nearly worked there

| That wasn't a hagwon bus, it was a brothel-mobile that serves tea and crumpets and specializes in spanking naughty schoolboys. |

What about Jackie's Clinic? It's a hagwon, not a health clinic. hehehe^^
Kid's College is weird, too, because it's a hagwon and kids don't go to college. |
here's an idea "princess's language bravo englishing academy of not-being-able-to-let-things-go-even-when-she/he/it-knows-she/he/tit's-full-of shit"?
seriously, what's your boner for j.c.? did your dad and husband get beat up by one of the female teachers who works there? |

Regarding Zero English, Koreans are always trying to associate 05, 영어, with some kind of clever mnemonic device, especially for brand names and school phone numbers.
While we native speakers look down on Zero English and think the name is an absurd oxymoron, Koreans would understand the association immediately as a clever marketing strategy, and probably even praise the creativity that went into it. In short, they're probably thinking damn, why didn't I think of that? |
