 Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 9:35 pm Post subject: A Korean ESL Glossary |
 |
|
Throughout my blog I do tend to use terms unique to life as an English speaking foreigner in Korea, teaching English as a 2nd language, and/or a weird combination of the two. I usually try my best within each post to define words that may be unknown to most of my readers but today I decided to create a glossary of terms that tend to come up as a teacher in Korea and therefore also in my blog.

| Hulmoni means grandmother. Ajumma means mother-grandmother aged woman. I'm an ajumma, because I'm married and around 30 years old. |

What's the problem? You prefer waygookin? All the "in" means is "people" from the Chinese language.
Does it really bother you that much?
its perfectly ok to say waygook if you attach "saram" or "in" after it.
I think it's ok ON AN INTERNET FORUM to use it less formally, or dare I say INCORRECT =0 it's not hurting anybody, except for your panties-in-a-bunch feelings. |

It's pretty annoying to me too. It's pretty simple.
Waygook=foreign
Waygookin=foreigner
Waygook saram= foreign person
Every time someone says, "I'm just another waygook..." or something like that I just hear "I'm just another foreign." Another foreign what?
It's kind of like konglish really. If you are going to try to use a Korean word and incorporate it into English, try to use the Korean word right.
Fighting!... |

Right! My bad. Way, means roughly outside, right? Gook is country. Outside country. |
