I'm a little unclear on the concept. Why Richard talking to me in slow English with hand signs like I'm a child? Hey Richard, I already know how to speak English.. it's Korean I'm here to learn.
And why does that Korean woman keep explaining how to speak Korean in Korean at full speed? Who is she talking to? Koreans (who I presume already know how to say "hello" in Korean)? Or me?

I don't know, but I suspect the people who planned this program come from the same school as those language experts who did the most recent Romanization system. You know, the ones who designed it so Koreans could write Korean in the Roman alphabet. |

I know Richard Harris speaks 1000 times better korean than me BUT
from the little of the show he speaks korean with a pretty noticable canadian accent. I'm not criticising the guy, just an observation. It shows how hard it is to drop your native accent I guess.
Stephen Revere from ArirangTV's 'lets speak korean' seems to have a much more korean sounding accent. |
HAH, you're kidding right?!  |
No joke my friend. Richard sounded very much like a Canadian speaking korean. I'm not saying Stephen sounds 100% korean, but his native accent is much less noticable (to my far from expert ears). |
