Korean Job Discussion Forums

I've noticed (with a somewhat bored air of indifference) the trend that many Koreans are now opting to send their kids to study English in the Philipines instead of the USA, Canada, Britain, Australia or New Zealand.

Then a thought occurred to me. With so many Koreans pouring so much time, money and effort into learning English, eventually they may have better English skills than most other Asian countries. (most - not all) If so, will parents in poorer Asian countries end up sending their kids to Korea to study English?



What do you think about this?

I should point out that I have no evidence to support any of these ramblings.

However, this website was kind of interesting http://www.iep.ucr.edu/GNUCR/

not as long as koreans think the mistakes they make in vocabulary, grammar and usage is simply a valid form of english, "konglish", despite the fact that they use it only to talk with 99% of others in the country who are Korean learners of english (because us 1 % don't understand what the heck they are talking about, "eyeshopping", "all in", etc). konglish is wrong and worse USELESS since it's used for koreans to talk to koreans pretending they are speaking english

Korea will never reach that point.

Could you imagine hearing "bravo your life" from a random Thai dude while walking down the street? The thought makes me wretch.

[Farnsworth]

Yeah.. or how about "fwighting" or "cunning" or "manner".

Edit - Moved the whole thing to the right thread. Was looking at three similar threads and posted in the wrong one.
