"I want to have a good pronunciation. I am worrying because I have a bad pronunciation." This is a common question that my students often ask me these days. What's a good pronunciation? Saying 'warrer' instead of 'water'? Pronunciation is the most important area when it comes to learning English for Korean students. A good pronunciation means he or she is well educated and the person's high social status.
What is pronunciation? It consists of segmentals and suprasegmentals. Many Korean students focus on segmentals factors. However, natives speakers tend to be affected by 'stress' when they speak with non-native English speakers. So, I would like to recommend you to practice more on 'stress' and 'intonation.'
I remember an American accent class I took when I was in Newyork. It was not that enjoyable because it was like pretending to be an American. So, my question is, what the ideal pronunciation for Korean English speakers is. I would like to answer for this, a pronunciation that has Korean's speaking habit and has no problem to convey what we want to say properly like Ban Ki-moon, the General Secretary of United Nation.
In brief, my conclusion for this is that our objective to practice english is not speaking like a native English speaker, but improving our interactive ability. It is natural to speak English with Korean accent since Korean is definately our first language. Interactive ability means you can make others understood with using various expressions. This is the key point in my English classes.

The U.S music magazine Billboard hailed the singer Psy (Park, Jae-sang , 35) as a “ready-made star.”
In its latest issue on its Web site (Nov. 3), the magazine said featuring the singer’ debut in U.S.
"Having been schooled in the States (he briefly attended Boston University and Berklee College of Music), he knows enough English to navigate U.S. media; he has more than a decade of experience performing huge shows in Korea as a solo artist; and, at 34, he's business-minded enough to be able to make his own decisions without label micromanagement," the story said. "In essence, PSY came to America as a ready-made star," it analyzed.
The magazine said of the appraisal of Monte Lipman, the president/CEO of Republic Records, who signed Psy for an international album deal excluding Korea and Japan.
"I don't put him in the same category [as other K-pop artists]. I put PSY in the same category as some of the biggest acts in the world," Republic president/CEO Monte Lipman says. "PSY is a superstar. He's got that charisma, that sense of confidence and showmanship," he praised the Korean rapper.
Billboard also recounted how Psy came to sign a management contract with Scooter Braun, who discovered pop-stars Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepson.
As "Gangnam Style" approached 10 million YouTube views at the end of July, Scooter Braun tweeted a link to the video, writing: "HOW DID I NOT SIGN THIS GUY!?!??!" But, behind the scene, he was contacting the singer.
Braun offered him, “I want to sign you,” and he wanted to keep the song in Korean for the American market. And the singer was surprised, saying “You want to keep this in Korean?”
But soon Psy accepted the offer, saying “Why not?”
After signing with Braun, Billboard said, Psy garnered popularity with American audience by made his appearance on a series of top-rated show programs, the MTV Video Music Awards, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "Today" and "Saturday Night Live.
"Gangnam Style" reached No. 2 on the Billboard singles (on the Hot 100) and broke the record with 500 million views on YouTube. “PSY finds himself the most globally famous Korean artist ever“ the magazine added.
The magazine concluded with Psy’s belief “what is most Korean is what is the most international.”
"Even if the cultures are different, a human being usually sees the same thing and feels a similar type of enjoyment," he says. "When you see Niagara Falls, you're going to feel the same thing. It's grand, and it's amazing. So, I think, what's already been proven and tested in Korea, will work here.
Kim Han-sol, grandson of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and eldest son of Kim Jong-nam, appeared on a Finnish television talk show and gave a rare interview, speaking about his life and family background. He shared his thoughts on the two divided Koreas, hoping for unification, and also his experience making South Korean friends in Macau, where he grew up.
It was the first time Han-sol has given such a long interview. He appeared before the camera in a pair of fashionable black glasses and two earrings on his left earlobe which have never being seen among people in North Korea due to communism and refusing foreign culture. He is at United World College, an international school in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina he was told from his rommate from Libya about stories that the revolution. It was very interesting.
He never met both his grandfather and his uncle, current leader Kim Jong-un. He really didn’t know until later on that his grandfather was a leader in North Korea and how his uncle became a dictator as well. He added his father, the oldest son of Kim Jong-il, was definitely not really interested in politics.
Kim, born in Pyongyang in 1995, spent most of his life Macau after spending the first few years in the North’s capital. He visited to North Korea every summer to meet his relatives and keep in touch with families.He didn’t have many childhood friends from North Korea because he was very isolated when he was growing up and all his friends are from outside. He have some South Korean friends and they came to become close freinds.
Talking about his parents, his mother is just an ordinary citizen in North Korea, not from a privileged family. She always tried to encourage him to live the same lifestyle as an ordinary citizen so that he could have a better understanding of people.
Since he saw both levels in a family of a dictator and at the same time living with ordinary citizen, it was really easy for him to form his own opinions. He always thinks about people who are hungry and is thankful first in front of food by being taught from his father.
He also shared his future plans and hopes to return back to his home country.He have always dreamed that one day he will go back and make things better and easier for people there.He would like to engage in more humanitarian projects and work to contribute to building world peace.

"Offering a job instead of giving relief supplies"
Sea-a commercial trading company, which is enterprise of middle standing of Korea, offered about 20,000 jobs by building factories in northern industrial park in the Republic of Haiti. Haiti has suffered from powerful earthquake in the magnitude of 7.6. The company's generous decision is praised by many people in the world, even a vice president of U. S. A, as a ideal model of relief activities.
Sea-a commercial trading company is not only a knitwear manufacturing company but also a company which is supplying products to 9 countries including China, U. S. A. There are many relief activities by offering clothing, shoes and daily necessities. Even these activities had good intention, some say that there is a possibility of disappearing of local production infra and local jobs because of the relief supplies. In recent days, recognition that the best support for countries like Haiti, is job offering is spreading.

'SNS' violates people's privacy, and they feel tired of managing 'SNS.'
People are under a lot of stress from Social Networking Service (SNS). Because of the system which automatically open their private life on cyberspace, and the tiredness from managing their own places. According to a research, conducted by ‘Research Institute of University Tomorrow,’ of the 835 people, 16% said they have thought about quitting SNS often, and 52% have thought about it once or twice. One of the main reasons was exposure of their private life.
Statistics about SNS
Facebook Page
In the case of ‘Facebook,’ people enjoyed it while sharing their usual life stories with closed friends. However, as they started to make friends with unexpected people like their supervisor, they stop sharing their life anymore.
Most of Koreans have a unique rivalry that ‘If other people do, then I do, too.’ It also plays a role to make people get tired. Once they start ‘Facebook’ or play ‘Anipang,’ they just keep focusing on them in order to increase a number of friends or make score at least as same as other people do, because they want to show their strong influence to people on SNS.
Anipang Heart Messages
Especially ‘Anipang’ which became the most famous mobile game in Korea by recording over 20 million downloading, harasses people by sending messages anytime even at night to get some game items: hearts, due to its connection with ‘Kakao talk,’ the most popular messenger application. In another survey of nearly 3000 of ‘Anipang’ users by ‘Do it Survey,’ about 40% of them said they get a stress because of ‘the heart message.’ For these reasons, many people want to know how to block the heart message.
A professor of Information Sociology said we cannot live without SNS which has unlimited expanded network in the future, so he advised that people need to make their own securing system for privacy and try to block the unwanted messages aggressively.

(This year's winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine)
"I have just been immersed myself in my research on incurable disease."
Like other Nobel prize winners, professor Yamanaka Shinya, in his acceptance speech, said that he was just enjoyed studying his area. In other words, he did not work hardly for the Nobel prize, but for fun.
Also, Nobelists share another common denominator. They tend to be embarrassed about their award and feel apologetic to their peers. I don’t believe this is because they are all modest. Instead, I think they do so because they just thank their country and the school for supporting their “amusing game” and feel they owe to “gamers” with whom he or she played on taking "the game item" alone.
We can also learn the importance of pleasure in learning from our ancestors.
In Joseon Dynasty period, Doesan Seowon, an education facility, was established by Lee Hwang. In fact, there already were many educational institutions called Sunkyunkwan and Hyangkyo. Although these schools started to effect that they produce leaders of the nation, they actually were gateways to Joseon politics for the people who study for fame and prestige. So, Lee wanted to make Seowon for the people who just enjoy learning.
Furthermore, Confucius said “學而時習之, 不亦說乎” in the first chapter of <Analects>, which approximately means “learning and mastering something is joyful.” In other words, the true learning includes the delight. In the next chapter, he talked about the delight of having time with the friend who knows it. And then, the words are written in the third chapter, “The wise man can go his way pleasantly regardless of the recognition for their work."
If so, there is a question we can ask ourselves: "How can we help our future Nobelists?"
Let’s look at the manufactory of Nobel Prizes, Kyoto University. It’s amazing that, including Shinya, Kyoto produced seven Nobel prize winners, which is equal in number of all Chinese Nobelists.
▲ The motto of Kyoto University is "Academic Freedom".
A reporter belongs to Kyunghyang Daily has analyzed on this surprising fact. He said,
"The secret of Kyoto‘s achievement is free and opened school tradition which is different from the rival, Tokyo university. Kyoto, despite of its huge scale (they have fourteen laboratories and twenty-seven educational facilities), is managed freely to protect personality and creativity of their students."
In other words, Kyoto tries to make an ecosystem where free research atmosphere and creative students are in harmony. And this environment have bred creativity and imagination. It may have exerted an vital influence on Shinya to win the Nobel, who was totally unknown.
At this point, we can recall the Confucius' respond to someone who asked what the politics is. He said,
“The politics is a thing that near people are happy and distant people are coming.”
I think the reporter and Confucius talked about the same thing, the ecosystem where people are willing to come.
Ancestors also said, “Growing trees is the ten-year plan, but raising people is the hundred-year plan. Predecessors compared growing tree with raising people, knowing they are similar in developing ecosystem,
We suffer from “Nobel Prize Syndrome” around this time of the year. We have tried to find the reasons why we cannot win a Noble Prize. There could be many reasons, such as the lack of translators in the literary world, poor treatment for scientists, insufficient national support, etc. Some say we should learn the way of making Nobel Prize from foreign Nobelists. But, as we saw earlier, I think making the ecosystem is the fastest way to get over this illness.
The teenagers are effected by entertainers's drinking.
For several years now, teenagers in Korea have rated being an entertainer as one of the most popular choices when asked about their future career aspirations. Because children think of entertainers as successful man. The serious problem is the tendency toward copycat behavior : our children dress, talk, and behave in ways that they model after characters on TV and in the movies. This is especially worrisome since so many of these programs are excessively violent and sexually suggestive. Many legal experts believe that delinquency problems are made much worse by young people imitating what they see in the media.
Likewise, these programs could give rise to the serious problem of under-age drinking. Especially, Celebrity entertainment shows are very popular these days. In these shows, entertainers speak of their drinking as if it meant nothing to them. They say : "Once I starts to drink, I can hit the bottle!" , "I love strong liquors". There is no doubt it has a bad influence on teenagers. Since children and teenagers cannot make right decisions on their own sometimes, they may think drinking is OK after watching these entertainment programs. They can be seen to copy the behavior of others whom they admire or identify with.

Yahoo portal agreed with withdrew from Korea in 15 years. No. 1 domestic portal Yahoo who also opened ‘.com’ culture in the late 1990s, but they was sent off lonely Because of failed localization to native portal Naver, Daum etc.
Oct 19th. Yahoo made a public statement about termination to Korea business at end of this year. Yahoo said, "Since its launch in Korea, has faced challenges over the past few years," and, "We think a global market focus is needed in order to improve business performance and long-term success, decided to withdraw," they added.
Yahoo dominate the search market since it first entered the Korean market in 1997, and reigned as the nation's largest portal site until the early 2000s. But Yahoo started on the downward path because of Naver and Daum power. Besides Yahoo was reserved to Google that the late runner and US-based like Yahoo. Level of 0.1 to 0.2 percent share of the search market, Yahoo on the market already has forgotten the existence.
Currently, Yahoo is facing a crisis of survival in the United States. Yahoo is seeking a resurgence among sweeping plan through business restructuring to the first half of this year. To withdraw from Korea can be interpreted as part of the reorganization of the global business.
When Netizens used Yahoo search system at the time of the Korean market, if you enter the search terms, enter them as a sub-folder that contains the information you are looking for way to 'directory'. But When you enter your search terms in Naver, you can show all kinds of information, news, blog, cafe, and even advertising. It’s a ‘integrated approach to search’. So Yahoo users was absorbed by Naver quickly.
When the Naver’s approach proved successful, Yahoo should have hurried to change the approach. but They have taken traditional. There was no effort to adapt to the local culture, and rapid decision-making.
Yahoo e-mail service even was crowded out the representative service such as Hanmail, cafes in Duam, Cyworld Mini homepage, Naver Blog. but Yahoo failed to dig new content services.
The decision to withdraw as Yahoo Korea site is only open until the end of the year, since then the Yahoo site will connect to the United States sites. Also available as an email account that uses the domestic netizens, but it’s unclear that It will be according to plan well.
