Konglish

“This book is about the differences between how language is observed and interpreted. My focus is on three languages which are Korean, English and Konglish (Korean + English). There are short, humorous
stories in each language that I have personally experienced based on the differences of the languages and
how they function in different cultures. How Korean appears to English speakers and how English appears
to Korean speakers is different and sometimes leads to funny mistakes and experiences causing misinterpretation or confusion.”
