The Complications Learners in Korea Face When Studying English - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Learning a second language can prove to have a variety of obstacles. Between age, time available for study, access to resources, and more, the desire to master another language must be given a strong priority to succeed.

Based on grammar differences, pronunciation, and a general fear of speaking English, English language learners in South Korea face issues particular to their region.

The Importance of Learning Grammar - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Grammar is an important aspect of a language where learners' and teachers' opinions vary. Some students love to find out or learn the proper usage of grammar while some wanted to do grammar exercises. While some love grammar, others hate it and think that it is the most boring part of learning a new language. Whatever your stand is, you cannot escape from learning grammar; it is vital in every sentence you read or write, speak or hear. Grammar is simply the word for the rules that people follow when they use a language. We need those rules in the same way as we need the rules in any game.
