Yes let’s hope it is about raising awareness as discrimination and bullying is such a big feature within the dramas and usually its about class or sexism. I forgot the other physical symptom I have seen a few times is a deaf parent where they usually will use their child as an interpreter which is obviously inappropriate especially in medical situations. I have only seen it happen once where someone mentioned calling the interpreter service.

They will do what they did with Good Doctor and have others befriend her to be her social skills advisors. They have already set the scene on how they will work together using their mixed skill set for the benefit of the client.

The only thing I can do is laugh at your comment. One, for your lack of understanding and two for you using words that don't mean what you think they do.

@oldawyer: Thank you for the recs.! I will definitely try to find them.

@reply1988: Pleasure!
Hangeul doesn’t have capital letters unlike many other alphabets.
Re the translation point, you’ve noticed an important point which is that younger people must use honourifics for older brothers and sisters and that is gendered both ways (depending on your gender and theirs). So they would not use their older siblings names but instead use the appropriate honourifics. Subtitlers must regard this as confusing so they replace them with the names which is a glaring no no!

Foreigners like me are taught 3-4 of these levels of speech as you are correct that there are different words used depending on who one is talking to. There are 2 levels which are largely used for formal writing and in historical accounts including in Seijuks so not taught to foreign learners.

Also, I have just learnt something else which has blown my mind. If one is talking to someone about a third person, different honourifics have to be used depending on the relationship with the 2nd and 3rd persons. Complicated but fascinating.
Sorry for carrying on. I love what I’m learning so much that tend to want to talk about it all the time!
They would also use different verb endings with their friends than what they would use with parents, grandparents, teachers, other older people and the elderly.

The "coppee" is because there's no "F" sound in Korean. There also isn't a separate "R" and "L" sound, there's only one letter "ㄹ" that is kind of a combination of the two. For Koreans learning English, one of the biggest challenges is pronouncing words that have the two letters together like "girl" or "world".

And if you think that this is interesting (or even convoluted) just check out Japanese.......

@ladynightshade: Thanks for your positive feedback!
I hope you get to study Korean one day soon. I have many years of study ahead of me which I look forward to.
And I empathise with you re mangled non-Anglo names rendered into English. My last name has been victimised(😂😭) like this my entire life. So many appalling versions. Even when I spell it as a rule of thumb, some people find it difficult because it is long (but not particularly difficult as doesn’t have silent consonants and we have had to change the sound of one double consonant to render it palatable to an English speaking country).

It must be such a nightmare not being able to hear your own name pronounced properly.

English is indeed a mess- but a glorious mess which puts most languages to shame in terms of its ability to express things- not least because it is constantly adopting words from other languages.

But the speakers of other languages have the same difficulties- just yesterday I had a Spanish interpreted
hearing in which our Spanish speaker spoke of living on "Queen Street". It took several minutes to straighten this out: What the witness meant was in fact an address on Quinn Street. To a Spanish speaker Quinn is pronounced 'Queen'.

But I know what you mean about names in particular. I am particularly sensitive because if you see my family name you will pronounce it wrong and if you hear it, you will spell it wrong- because, of course, it is not an English name. So, I strive to get names right whenever I can. Want some real fun? Try Polynesian names.

It sure is for me as well @dncingemma!

He was there for a total of three years. His experience was a little different as he was born in Seoul and then "came home" to us when he was about 5 1/2 months old. But he enjoyed his time there except the air pollution was bad...
Still, I learned a lot while he was there.
