This is a letter that a friend of mine here Devon wrote. Marnie, my old roommate, had asked Devon for a letter of recommendation prior to her leaving the country to move to Wales. Devon wrote her a fabulous letter, and then he also wrote her this. Konglish is Koreanized English. It is what we speak to our students. I guess you could compare it to baby talk. The main reason it exists is Korean sentence structure is completely different from ours. When we'd say "I am a teacher," Korean's would say "I teacher am." I speak Konglish all the time, and I'm finding that it's working it's way into my daily vocabulary, which is scary. Read on, and enjoy....also, if you understand the Konglish part, then you may make a good ESL teacher!!
