< MY OPINION : the fastest way to be good at ENGLISH is
to be a friend with "진짜외국사람" >
This is the article that related to the topic.
In short, the best way to learn English is make a English friend.
But he said it's not good that making a English friend only with the purpose of learn English from him/her.
And if you approached to him/her only this purpose, they would notice and this relationship is more likely to break up easily.
So he recommended approach them sincerely.
And he said how to be a friend with English people.
For example pen pal, access the English community in Internet and talk to foreigner first and so on...
I totally agree on this material.
Because recently I met English boy(his name is TOM) in Busan International Film Festival.
So we became a friend.
We were talking a lot sometimes in English sometimes in Korean.
And we keep our relationship like texting message in Kakaotalk and making an appointment in the near future.
He asks me something that he doesn't know in Korean and I ask him something that I don't know in English.
I think we are very helpful each other !
I attach our content of texting. X-)
I think after I met him, my English is better than before.
Of course, we talk something private like the other friends.

I was always wondering that why Korean students are afraid to conversation in English even though they were learning English from in elementary school.
I think because Korea style's teaching in English is too focus on the grammar and reading for examination called 수능 that the exam to enter the university.
Of course, reading and grammar part is important, but I think speaking and listening part is more important.
Because I think the purpose to learn the foreign language is to talk with foreigner.
So I want to change the way to teach English in KOREA.
If I became a Korean teacher, I want to make the class that linked to my students and my Korean friends.
Then they will become a friend like me and Tom.
So I think my students probably getting better to speak Korean !
With thought alone, I'm very excited !
And I'm wondering what else the way in learning English.
I want to listen the other students' opinion !
And I want to share and discuss about this topic. :-D
