Top 10 desires/fears Koreans keep a secret:
1. I wish I were an American.
2. I wish my name was Jonathan/Jennifer.
3. When my head hits the pillow I dream of speaking English fluently with perfect North American accent.
4. I�ve studied English for twenty years. When in Canada I was put in level 1.
5. I dream of the day when Korea adopts English as its �native� language.
6. I am terrified of Western women.
7. I lost my virginity to a prostitute.
8. I sew my virginity back on the day before I got married. (Hey! I�m a born again virgin!)
9. I work like a dog just to save money for an eye enlargement surgery.
10. I watch Western porn in the hopes of learning to be a better lover.
Top 10 fears/tricks TEFLers keep a secret in Korea:

2. My vocabulary is inadequately small for a native speaker.
3. I dread when I have to teach the past perfect.
4. I never listen to a single word my students utter.
5. When my students speak, I always put my hand on my chin to give the aura that I'm actually listening when in fact I�m doing my banking.
6. I went to Korea because I couldn't command the same level of respect back home.
7. I�ve been in Korea for 5 years but tell everyone it�s been only 1 because I still can�t utter a single complete sentence in Korean.
8. Korean women don�t adore me as they should.
9. I hate Korea even though deep down I know there is no good reason to do so.

How do you know this practice is so widespread, if Koreans are keeping it a secret? |
