Anyone have a lesson on Konglish? I'm sure there are some out there so I thought I'd ask before I reinvent the wheel. I'm looking for something to make students more aware of the most common mistakes.

If nobody has a lesson, maybe we could list the most common Konglish errors here.

Of the top of my head:
S-line
Remo-con
MacGyver knife
Sharp-uh
Toast-uh

klaxon/horn
cup/glass
wears/clothes
one-piece/dress
Y-shirt/dress shirt
arrange/straighten up
shape/figure
punc/flat tire
panties/briefs (boys & men)
restroom/lounge
my senior, my junior/a friend
pocket ball/pool
driver/screwdriver
CFs/commercials

this is a handy worksheet from one stop korea.

I have uploaded into the Korean Resources of EFL Classroom a nice full lesson/unit on Konglish with a dialogue.

It can be pretty useful and interesting to teach in this Culturally specific fashion. The more Korea focused content we use to teach English - the better we'll be doing our job in this EFL context.

Cheers,

If you have the use of a computer in the classroom you can use this,

I don't agree with all of the quiz stuff but that's great for discussion.

I have a matching exercise I've used for my parents and teacher's class I downloaded from somewhere. I will upload a link when I find it. Maybe it was from EFL Classroom I can't remember.

It is very difficult for students to break these habits, because they have never made these sounds before.

You will have to show them how to use their mouth and tongue to make these sounds.

Remember that your Korean pronunciation sounds strange to them as well.
